Try to find the original retail box version, as you will want to read the
'Four Wheel Drift' essay on paper and more than once.

There are two known sound issues, distorted sounds and crackling.

To eliminate distorted sounds there are several solutions, including the
usual 'try the latest drivers' type stuff, but I find the most reliable
solution is to go start, run, dxdiag.exe, go to the sound tab & set the
acceleration to basic. This is unlikely to affect any of your other apps
or games, but you never know 'till you try ;-)

To cure or at least reduce crackling, turn the volume down in windows &
gpl and compensate by turning your speakers volume up.

btw there is a more sounds patch which allows all 9 different engines
(including F2/F3 to have their own sounds. One of the must have add-ons
imo, but make sure you apply the patch /after/ the CPU fix otherwise
you'll just have to apply it again. Same thing goes for any 3rd party
patches that hack the gpl.exe file.

Those are the only patches that I know of.

What kind of "sound issues" are you having? And what is your hardware?
Maybe someone here has experienced the same (or have heard about) and know
how to fix it.

sound issues were crackling( hardware is: p3 -1000, 512 mb ram, gforce4 ti
4200, SoundBlaster live )after resetting the car or going back to the pits,
I turned down the hardware acceleration to basic. seemed to cure the problem
but, sounds don't seem to sound as rich as before, oh well at least it
works.The oem tracks seem a bit low on the graphic scale, I dl the isle of
mann track and have been havin a blast with it, that circuit is fun, good
graphics too. For a 6 yr old sim it rocks, 4 wheel drift, yum yum lol
