Go to this site and check under sounds for a static fix. J. Janasov http://nosthevamp.tripod.com/start.htm <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hmm... I am using a MX300 and GPL sounds fine. I don't think that it is the sound card. > I'm running GPL on an ASUS P55T2P4 mobo with an MX300 sound card. Iget

I'm running GPL on an ASUS P55T2P4 mobo with an MX300 sound card. I get a slight hi end crackle in the engine sounds, no matter whether using stock sound dat file or user created versions. Tried changing the # of sounds played to no effect. I'm using the "Vortex AU8830 Windows 9x driver version 4.06.2048", and DX7a. Anyone else experience this and know a fix?
I've got a Turtle Beach Quadzilla, and I get the exact same thing in GP3 and Nascar Heat. Also, in Quake3, I get it if I'm not using A3D. If I use A3D, it sounds fantastic. Hmmmmmm....it's not just me afterall
Dont know if this will help but...I have the original Monster sound and I have to turn down Accelleration level to minimum or GPL sounds terrible and broken up. Hope this helps On Mon, 02 Oct 2000 00:45:46 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:

Puzzled as GPL is the only game that does this. What's interesting is I can hear the cracklies in some of the files played separately. I'm listening just now to a stereo ferrari wave and it has hi pitched cracklies no matter which heapdhones or speakers I use. So I'm wondering, is it the way the card is processing, or it it there and I'm just more sensitive to hearing such distortion? Regarding the anti-static file, the way I understand GPLS sound files to work, unless there was an actual portion of the sound data file dedicated to static, it would not look for a "static.wav" in the directory.

gpl was coded long before the A3d standard came out. It "would" be neat. someone, say a person who work at Vortex Industries could possibly write a patch that enables A3d sound in Gpl....<wink wink> <nudge nudge> dave henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hmmm.... searching for such a setting... In my A3D control I have a box to check for "Disable Direct Sound Hardware Acceleration". Don't think I want to check that. Then under A3D Settings there are sliders for optimization quality vs performance, but that is actually a setting for "Reverb Engine / EAX Support". I will keep poking. Thanks for the idea.
Try to experiment with the hardware-acceleration of your sound-device, to be found somewhere in it's properties. "Sean Grattan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... >
