GPL demo sound

3 posts by 3 people · 11 Oct 1999 - 12 Oct 1999

I have downloaded and installed the GPL demo, but the sound isn't working properly - it sounds like something the PC speaker would make. It is all broken up and sounds "beepy" rather tha any proper sampled race car sounds. The graphics look ok, so I don't think the speed of the PC is a problem. Any ideas ? Is the sound in any way configurable (other through the menus) ? Or is it a case of downloading the latest drivers, etc... (using DirectX 6.0 Windows 98) ? John

Sounds like you have gotten hold of the 1st version of the demo, that one didn't fair too well in Win98 for most people, I think there was a "2nd edition" though, don't ask me for version numbers and such, this is taken from memory, and that aint what it used to be :-) -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/

I remeber having problems with the demo and I believe sound was a major one which I couldn't fix. The problem does not exist in the Released version of GPL beck John Hartridge <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7tspck$[email hidden]...
