Recently my sound is extremely distorted whilst playing GPL and only GPL. It is always without fail ok when i first fire up. I could drive for 100 laps and it will be OK. But if i return to the pits,change a set up or whatever then return to the track it is horrifically distorted and will stay like that until a total close down and restart of GPL. As you may expect it has ruined my practicing and last night it ruined a league race,as of course after Q it was fine but race started and off it went again. I searched and found a static patch from Bruce Johnson and prayed that would fix it but alas..it didn't. Any ideas lads..? Morgan Boof
Ok, You've listed the symptoms, but nothing about your system. Give us an idea of what you have and what OS, etc... -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Morgan Boof <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a122j2$6fc$[email hidden]... > Recently my sound is extremely distorted whilst playing GPL and only GPL. > > It is always without fail ok when i first fire up. > > I could drive for 100 laps and it will be OK. > > But if i return to the pits,change a set up or whatever then return to the > track it is horrifically distorted and will stay like that until a total > close down and restart of GPL. > > As you may expect it has ruined my practicing and last night it ruined a > league race,as of course after Q it was fine but race started and off it > went again. > > I searched and found a static patch from Bruce Johnson and prayed that would > fix it but alas..it didn't. > > Any ideas lads..? > > > Morgan Boof > >
Jeez sorry...:) Tbird 1.33 Win Me SB Live GF2 Pro 21.83 256 Ram(not pc133 but the new stuff) I have done a little investigating and it all leads back to the carsound.exe installation. I would be quite happy to reverse this without doing a full reinstall of GPL,can you help? Morgan
That should be easy, restore the backup copy of GPL.exe you made when installing the car sound patch. I don't know what chipset you are running, but you may need updated BIOS and/or chipset drivers(VIA 4in1's, etc..) And make sure you are using the newest drivers from Creative for your SB Live! -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Morgan Boof <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a12p5h$r4s$[email hidden]... > Jeez sorry...:) > > Tbird 1.33 > Win Me > SB Live > GF2 Pro 21.83 > 256 Ram(not pc133 but the new stuff) > > > I have done a little investigating and it all leads back to the carsound.exe > installation. > > I would be quite happy to reverse this without doing a full reinstall of > GPL,can you help? > > Morgan > >
