[ Sound ]
soundQuality = 2                                ; Relative quality for sound

I have 12 as the number of sounds in Options.  What is the difference in
quality if I set soundQuality to 0 or 1?  Is 12 too high a number of
sounds in options?  BTW - I usually drive the Ferrari, if that makes a
difference...

I haven't played around too much with the sound settings.  I did reduce
the number of sounds from 12 to 4 or 5 in an attempt to get a good frame
rate for VROC.  I still get the pops with that setting.  Don't remember
offhand what my sound quality setting is (and I'm at work).  The Ferrari
has nothing to do with the pops.  I get them with all the cars I
believe.  The Ferrari's sound is slightly distorted, however.

By the way, do you get the shakes with your drivers' hands?  I haven't
been able to reduce them much, and I'm wondering if it's the TB Montego
game port's problem.

I get the popping in Ferrari as well, especially when under heavy
power.  I get it whether I use soundquality of 2 or 0 (the 0 I use to
help framerate on my modest 233 processor and old ISA sound card).  I
don't notice it in other makes of vehicles.

I reduced the shakes by sliding the steering about 3/4 toward non-linear.  
The further you go, the less the shakes.  I also calibrate everytime I
start the sim.  I think this is necessary with the TBS Montego.  I
haven't checked lately for new drivers.  Guess I'll do that now.
