I fixed it! :) I got my h/d, and video card, and put into my parents computer and it works fine. It has dx8 with win98 and a super crap onboard soundcard, so obviously it doesnt have much to do with the soundcard. There must be some sort of conflicting going on with my other and your(s) system... a combination of things. Post anything if u find out anything new! Luke -87=- David L.

Cc: Eric Busch / Papyrus Not only are the engine sounds messed up, but all other sounds as well. If I tap the wall, or scrape the asphalt the sound cracks (for lack of a better description). It carry's over into the menu system after I get off the track. This occured with both the Vortex card and I tried racing last night with bad sound. Guess what - without "seat of the pants" feedback I think we rely more on sound than we would expect. It was very hard to run with the sound so messed up. All my drivers are up to date including Liveware 3 for Windows 2000, DX8, Act Labs Force RS newest drivers and the latest from NVidia (7.22's I think). I did manage to get the controller setup to see my reverse button on the RS Shifter:) Sometimes when I go into the demo it wants me to re-select all my controller options, but I just escape out and discard changes and everything is okay. A couple of other issues: You can't chat while driving. At least not with the RS Shifter in H Pattern mode. The demo puts you into Neutral when you hit "T". Also you can't "Look Left/Look Right" using buttons on your wheel. It appears as though the game keeps the button pressed while in gear and won't allow me to press another to look.

I replaced my SB Live with an A3D Turtle Beach sound card and still can't get the N4 sound to work right. I'm starting to think it might be DX8. Anyone know how to uninstall DirectX 8? --David Cook

Are you having the same problems Luke described in an earlier thread? I have them too, but DX8 has been perfect with every game I've tried on my system so far except for the N4 demo. David G Fisher "David L. Cook" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

So it's not DX8, it's not Win2K, and it's not my SB Live. I'm running out of options here... --David Cook In article <01c05ac4$05dc7e00$0100007f@ronayton>, [email hidden] wrote...

Yeah, thanks. Been all through everything I could find. I've also tried 3 different sound cards. One A3D and two CL's to no avail... --David Cook "Amp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Same problem here, SB16, still using DX7... I have tried everything i know of to get engine sounds working in N4 with my SB16, but all i get are a few clicks at startup, then a convulted linear static pitch.... This is the only game (demo) i have sound problems with, so it's not the DX version causing it..

I just tried that and at first it didn't make any differance now I don't get any sound at all. Oh well it's an alpha build. "Amp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
