I have a standard 16bit Soundblaster-compatible chip on my machine (Compaq
Deskpro with built-in sound), and all the cars in GPL sound great except for
the Ferrari - there is all kinds of background noise and garbage coming out
of the speakers. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a replacement
sound file for that car?
Thanks.

I use a SB AWE64 and large PC speakers and -- well --
really can't hear anything that I would call garbage ;)

The Ferarri is rough, but thats almost exactly how it sounded in real life.
As for the garbage your hearing...it might be feedback b/c the speakers dont
like that praticular sound. You might try changing the speaker setting within
windows (bass, trebble, etc.) if it lets you. Thats about all i could think
of. Hope this helps.

Or you could do what I did and replace it with the stock sound. It's
sacrilege I know <g>, but the added feedback I get from a clearer sound
allowed me to pick up over a second a lap at most places. I'm now
running 1m48s with it at Mexico, 3m20's at Spa, 1m05's at the Glen, etc
etc etc.
Cheers!

To me, it sounds like listening to an old, dirty LP. (Anybody old enough to
remember that technology?) There are hisses, clicks, pops and other
high-frequencly noise that have nothing to do with the inherent, distinctive
sound of the engine -- that wonderful, raucous, two-toned wail.
I notice just traces of this in a couple of the other engine sounds, but as you
wind them up, the "noise" disappears in the increased volume of the engine. In
the Ferrari, I can hear hiss and clicks even when the engine is red-lined.
I want to recall that someone clever succeeded in "cleaning up" the .wav, but I
now don't remember who or where. Does anybody out there recall? It really is
a shame that the coolest engine sound is marred with this noise, and like Skip,
I'd really love a solution.
Incidentally, I have a Gateway, with ENSONIQ AudioPCI and Boston Acoustics
speakers with powered sub-woofer -- I don't have a similar problem with other
.wav files or music for that matter.
Thanks!

My audio system is a Turtle Beach Montego and Altec 495's (Dell OEM -
pseudo USB, with subwoofer).
