Who cares what it bloody sounds like? -You want something that sounds nice, try Beethoven's 1st on a quality stereo system.

Nascar Heat Demo: I haven't read the read me file yet but my sound sure doesn't sound like "16 bit", it's more like "8 bit". Yes I did set it at "16 bit". I have a Athlon-800, GeForce-2 and a SBLive value but the sound is very dirty and poor quality. Anyone else? Thanks, Sal V.

I agree, I'm not really into sound either. I always have to keep the volume low, either Wife or baby is sleeping or I'm pretending to be working and don't want anyone to hear it. -- Kevin Anderson [email hidden] --------------------------------------------------- "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Who cares what it bloody sounds like? -You want something that sounds nice, > try Beethoven's 1st on a quality stereo system.

Have either of you gentlemen ever been to a Nascar Winston Cup Race??? I would guess not. You have to hear it to believe it. Nascar Heat sounds "cheesy". Nascar-3 sounds much better. Sal V.

I'm sure it won't be long before someone figures out how to hack in some better sounds - and hack "out" that tire skid sound ;) --David Cook In article <QP2l5.94205$A%[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote... > Have either of you gentlemen ever been to a Nascar Winston Cup Race???

FYI - the preview of Nascar Heat on avault.com says that 3d sound will not be implemented. "Sal V." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Vy1l5.94187$A%[email hidden]... > Nascar Heat Demo: > > I haven't read the read me file yet but my sound sure doesn't sound like"16

Something is screwy with the sound. I switched to 8-bit and it sounds better! Maybe they have them backwards. Sal V. "Chris Maness" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Hw3l5.107864$[email hidden]...

You can try to fiddle with the sliders in W98 Control Panel - Multimedia - Audio - Playback - Advanced Properties - Performance, see if that helps. Just an idea, I cannot test it since I don't have a SB Live nor Nascar Heat but I remember this tip from a while back. Bart Westra

Jan I have a high end hifi amp and a pair of B&W hooked to my rig and sometimes games sound like crap!, while when comparing it over Davors with those (multimedia speakers) it sounds ok...

which is unlikely to happen in real life...

I have the same setup, and while I would like something a bit more 'throaty', it isn't dirty and poor. Do you, by chance, have the gains in your sound settings at the Windows Level set to high? I had this problem with N3 until I determined that I had set the Trebel and Base to 100% (advanced setting in the sound panel) and it was over-driving the amps.

I disagree 100%. The sounds in NH sound more realistic to me and seem to follow what's really going on MUCH better. -Larry "Sal V." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:QP2l5.94205$A%[email hidden]...
