Interesting... considering that neither the drivers nor DX6 or DX6.1
make any changes to the audio side of things at all (Both versions
still use the original DX5 routines as DirectSound is not due to be
updated until DX7 at the earliest!)
The only problems reported here have been the loss of textures in CM
Rally which would appear to be an internal program problem and not
something directly attributed to the drivers themselves.
No loss of or change of sound has been found in GPL just the increase
of frame rates somewhere in the same region as you found yourself.
What soundcard do you have?
