I've had a problem with GPL since I installed
it 8 months ago. I have to exit and restart
the program to get my engine sound. I can hear
the wind, the tires, etc... Sometimes I have
to restart the program several times before I
get the engine sound, and then it seems to work
until after a random number of spinouts or
replays or something, and I have to exit and
restart again. This (and the fact that I am
slooooowwwww) keeps me from playing the game
very often. This is the only game I have a
problem with, but I don't have a lot of games.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or
have an idea on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike
I have a similar problem but it's very random. After a shift-R the engine
sound goes to crap but only above a certain RPM.
Sometimes shift-R will fix it, sometimes going to "the pit", or sometimes
restarting the games fixes it.
It was worse with the Eagle and hardly ever happens with the Lotus (go
figure).
W2K Pro, ASUS CUV4X MB, SB Live! Value. I have heard of issues with the VIA
chipset and the SB Live... I have a new Intel 815E-based board to try after
Xmas.

This same happens to me too!

Quite right.

I've got w2k and sb live value too... I think the cause is the extremely
buggy Liveware drivers, but I can't be sure because the same happens only in
Papy's games (GPL&N4demo).

You could try uninstalling LiveWare and using the default W2K drivers for
the card. If that fixes it then you'll have identified the problem.
I'm not going to worry about it until I build my new system after the
holidays.
