GPL: PCI128 small odd problem....

by Martin Portm » Thu, 15 Apr 1999 04:00:00

just upgraded to a system with a pci128 soundblaster, voodooII, pIII 450.
everything fine, lots of graphics, few things switched off, get 36fps
most of the time.  great :-)

but there's a small problem with the sound.  when driving the ferrari,
some of the cars, when they go *** past me, sound awful,
their engine sound seems to break up badly.  but ferrari sound is ok.

and when driving the lotus, i get a fairly frequent 'static burst',
eg. at the glen, sliding round turn 3. and a lot a spa. happens in
practice mode too.

i tried changing max sounds, didn't help.  

any ideas what i should look at next?

Try changing the cosworth.wav file to 16 bit.

Martin,

There is a patch to fix this problem.  It contains altered sound files that
worked fine on my PCI128.   If you want them,  post here or respond to me via
email and I will send them to you.

I got them from a website but I dont have the link handy.   Sorry.
