Losing Sound In NR2002

I know there is an apparent conflict with some Nvidia cards and the 3D
sound setting in this game using the 23.11 driver.  Before I change
the driver, has anyone else run accros the problem where they lose
their own engine sound upon acceleration?  At idle, the sound is fine.
If I uncheck the 3D sound option, I get the sound back.  But I paid
good $$$ for 3D sound and I want to use it.  Will rolling back my
video drivers do it?
Here are my system specs:
Athlon 1600XP Unlocked to 1800XP
Visiontek Ti200 240/460 overclocking
MSI K7T266 Pro2 VIA 266A Chipset
256MB PC2100 DDR Ram
Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card
WD 40GB ATA100 Hard Drive
Netgear NIC Card
DSL Modem hooked thru Netgear router
Optiquest V95 19" Monitor
Win98SE & WinXP on dual boot
Acer CDRW
Creative Labs 52X CD-ROM

I know this isn't an answer, but I have the same exact problem, and have not
tried previous detonators yet.

The readme says it is a problem with Audigy and Live! sound cards...but
whose job it is to fix it I am not sure.

I had the same problem after I tried those core.ini changes to fix the
cracking noise problems. The changes didn't fix the cracking sound
problem, so I went back to the original core.ini, and the disappearing
of the sound problem was gone again.

I checked out the N2002 forum on Sierra.com, and we're not the only
ones having problems with N2002 and the SBLive card :-/

The most annoying problem I have is that I can barely hear the
spotter, I even set all the volumes on 25% and the spotter to 100%,
but I still could hardly hear him :(

Its not just the Creative cards. I have a Philips AE and this is the first
title that I have ever had sound problems with. I already had the 27.20
drivers installed so I started with them. I was getting a sound looping
problem during game play, and the game would crash when trying to exit.
Giving me a BSOD and the only way out was a hard boot. 3d sound din't seem
to make a differance in this, and I'm not really sure if it was working. I
dropped back to the 21.81 drivers and I got rid of the sound looping and
lock ups, but now if I try and enable 3d sound I get a high pitch squeal
that wakes up every dog within a mile of me

For what it's worth, the engine sound after idle in N2002 comes 100% from
the centre channel in my 5.1 Audigy system.  This is pretty unusual as most
games don't support 5 channel sound, usually just 4.
Do you guys who are having trouble have 5 speakers or 4?
