This is hilarious but now i have the stupid sound problem, I just
reformatted my HD and upgraded My drivers and reinstalled GPL + updates, and
now after I crash i get a terribly distorted sound, and deliberately
crashing again will not fix it, any help would be appreciated greatly,
P.S.
My system consist' of:  Asus A7V 133-C MB, Athlon XP 1700+ CPU, SB Live 5.1
with Creative 5300 5.1 speakers, 640mb sdram, Asus V7100 Pro GeForce 2

Have you checked that the correct audio device is selected in the Sounds
applet in the Control Panel?

Also need to mention that it only screws up after reseting, and does not
only affect the sound but rpm's are limited to 8000 as opposed to 9000, in
the Lotus, which is the only Car that I drive so far unless forced to drive
a BRM or such!

This happens to me too.  This is after I changed from my onboard
soundcard to a Cmedia 5.1 soundcard.  After I crash my engine sounds
'weaker' but if I hit F2 to enter replay mode and exit the sound is
fixed again.  It didn't happen with my onboard sound.

Yah you or somebody else mentioned that in another tread, the only thing
that works for me, is just keep hitting the reset til it sounds rigth, I
know I know just dont crash you say, but it really f*****g sucks when racing
online and somebody rearend's you! Or something to that degree

I didn't get any sound problems with my old sb128, only when I put in a SB
live 5.1.

I had thought it was caused by the gplea cars being visible on screen when
changing screens (resolution?) but I noticed one or two cars with distorted
sound in the zandy brm only race last night, but no graphics problems.
I don't have any addons for zandy, & haven't added anything to the brm since
I changed my soundcard.

I'm on win2k with ACPI enabled, but it doesn't make any difference without
it, so I don't think it's an irq conflict, it could be a driver problem with
the graphics card, but I have a Kyro2 & most of you seem to have the same
problem with nVida cards. I also use Logitech controllers, but have done for
years, so I don't think it's that either. Ditto VIA chipsets.

My guess is the SB live (or just 5.1 cards of any make) drivers are the
problem. I had considered doing a complete format & re-install, but now it
looks like that won't cure it either.

Hmm.

Have you tried reducing the hardware acceleration on the sound card?  That
seems to have worked for a lot of people.

It's an intermittent problem so it's hard to say for sure whether it
improves or happens any less often, but reducing the slider, even to nil,
doesn't stop it happening, and does introduce other sound problems in
windows etc.

I have it set to 'normal' though, not 'full' because this is the lowest
setting that still lets everything else work okay.

Sorry to break the news, but gpl is not the only thing I use my PC for ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Malc.
