GPL Sound

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 Mx/400, 64mb, LG Flatron 915 Plus Monitor and using the Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP wheel!

Have you checked that the correct audio device is selected in the Sounds applet in the Control Panel? /Carl "Hans Jensen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vYC29.88633$[email hidden]... > 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 Live5.1 > with Creative 5300 5.1 speakers, 640mb sdram, Asus V7100 Pro GeForce 2 > Mx/400, 64mb, LG Flatron 915 Plus Monitor and using the Logitech Wingman > Formula Force GP wheel! > >

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. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

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!

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. Malc.

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

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.
