My sound problem is that with many of the cars, the engine sound starts to "breaks down" into a horrible single pitch noise at about 5000RPM. At 6000RPM, the sound is a single horrible noise, and stays that way all way up the tacho. The interesting bit is that this only occurs about 40% of the time. I can often fix the problem by quitting the current session then going back into it. The problem will either be there all the time during a session, or never. I am using one of the popular sound upgrades that provides different sounds for each car. Unfortunately, I can't remember what I'm using or how to restore the original sounds.

I believe the new Compaq Live! drivers may fix the problem, but the download is way to big for my 56k modem so I'm waiting for creative to release the generic drivers. The Compaq drivers aren't branded, btw and apparently work on non Compaq machines. http://alive.singnet.com.sg/drivers/ will point you to the 377mb download if you can't wait, and it was mentioned here on RAS a few weeks ago. Haven't tried them myself, though. Malc.
