I picked up Viper Racing at Office Depot for $12.99, which seems like a
tremendous bargain. However, there's a horrible problem with the sound on
my system. It sounds like the audio samples are broken. A looping engine
sound accompanied by what sounds like an oscillator clicking on and off,
comprise most of the audio. It's so bad - and really - so faint, that I
can't gauge the pitch of the engine (making shifting by ear darn near
impossible).
I have a C-550 system, with a Voodoo 3 2000 and a Soundblaster PCI 128. I'm
running Windows 98. Has anyone else heard anything like this? In my case,
it makes the game unplayable!

The only Yahoo link I found to Viper Racing was a dead one
(http://www.clubs.yahoo.com/%20viperracingclub). Was that the one you were
talking about or is there another one. I can't find a link to it on any
other Viper sites...
Thanks,

I can't say that I've heard of this problem before. Do you have the newest
drivers and an up to date version of direct X on your system? This might
clear up your problem. Hopefully you can get Viper Racing working properly
because it is definitely worth it in my opinion
the friendly pysco
I have the same sound problem...repeated clicking and broken
samples...I can shift by ear but car starting and many other samples
are broken. I am Win2000 with aureal Vortex 2 and Voodoo3. Retail
3dfx drivers and aureal W2k shipped drivers.
Like to know if you find a solution.
Cheers,

fired up Viper again recently; it had been working fine, then the sound
started to sound horrible as you've described (breaking up, etc.). I
re-installed DX7 and the problem went away, so give that a try.
