F1WGP and Win XP sound issues

I just picked up F1WGP 99 for the bargain price of $5 (AUSTRALIAN - $2.5US!) and I am having sound issues under Win XP. I have a SB Live and it is quite crackly. Any thoughts or patches I should look for? How do I tell the version? Overall a bargain game. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Check the Creative web site to make sure you've got the lastest drivers for the sound card. If you do, try backing off the hardware acceleration on that card by going into Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Device Properties. On the Volume tab, click the Advanced button in the Speaker settings section, then go to the Performance tab. The top section in the Audio playback area is Hardware acceleration. Move the slider left a notch at a time until the problem goes away. -- Chris H.

Try turning down the hardware acceleration on the sound card. I believe some people have had to go all the way down (left) in order to eliminate the crackling. -- Chris H.
