No matter what configureation I use in setup.exe for my music, I get one of 2 things: horrible noise or nothing. If I play tracks 2 or 3 straight from the cd, it works & I hear music. I have a Sounds Easy pro 16 sound card. Configured to I/O 220 IRQ5 DMA1. For the sound I simply choose the SoundBlaster 8, mono or stereo, (it works on both). But have tried every choice for the music... With the port set at 401, I can choose some of the 5 choices, but only horrible noise comes out... Where or how do I get the proper settings... I want to HEAR the announcer!! Debbie Doerrlamm --- t eeeWicked?Wicheee t Multitask:***up several things at once! --- t SLMR 2.1a t

Although I get the sound of the cars and the announcer in the first 10 seconds of the game, that's all I get. I tried using the Soundblaster Pro 16 bit Stereo but I get NOTHING. The only way I get anything is by using the Soundblaster 8 Stereo. Anybody got any suggestions? Stew

The announcer was initially an option but Papyrus took it off the retail version. It'll probably be included in an expansion pack. SB 8 is the only thing that works for NASCAR in sound blaster mode, evidently, as nobody can get SB 16 to work. Richard Scott

Richard, Sounds to me like Papyrus was glad to accept 50-60 bucks from consumers for a program that they should have taken the time to get right first. Heck, the need for the version 1.1 patch already proved that. I certinly hope that when the do get it all running properly, they will be doing a one for one CD swap with their customers. Stew

Yep, I use the SB16 stereo, and it works great, sounds awsome! I tried switching to SB8 mono because I saw a lot of posts saying it might make the game run faster. This mode also works just fine, but it really looses a lot of the impact. I'm using a P60, with a fairly fast video card (#9 GXE), and get a pretty acceptable frame rate running w/ most details off, except grandstands, car decals. This is w/ all 38 cars, drawing 8 ahead, 4 behind, hearing 4. It speeds up a *LOT* when you start running w/ fewer cars. But I like the challenge. Now to figure out how to con the wife into letting me buy a P90. :> --Philip -------------------------------------------------------- | Philip Brogden - Designer, Chopper *** | Origin Systems, Inc - An Electronic Arts Company | These are my opinions.
