OK, I've tried using GPL and Carsound, but after doing so, I lose the nicer 'environment' sounds from the High Gear Soundpack that I have...the skids, the hits, wind, etc etc. Yet without carsound, dropping in new engine sounds doesn't seem to work...help!!! -- Kirk Lane [email hidden] [email hidden] ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA"

I don't believe Carsound should have any impact on the non-car sounds. For the cars, whether they have an effect depends on whether you have Carsound installed and what the files are called. Carsound uses 3 letter file names - bra.wav, brm.wav etc. whereas 'normal' GPL uses longer names - repco.wav, brmh16.wav etc.Files with the wrong name won't have any effect but shouldn't do any harm.

Not sure if this is the answer to the original poster or not.. The Volume of the engine wave file could be drowning out the other sounds. Just open the engine wave file with Windows defaulted sound editing application (can't remember what it's called) and lower the volume of the wave file. Then see if you can hear the other sounds.
