Hi folks, after a couple of years away from sim racing I've gotten back into it and have started off by firing up N4 again. I'm now noticing that while driving, I get a very odd sound, sort of like a turntable needle being pushed across a vinyl record, every 10 or 15 seconds or so. Very irritating and distracting. My specs: Dell XPS w/P4 3.1 ghz processor ATI Radeon 9800 Pro in OpenGL mode 1 Gb SDRAM Creative SB Audigy w/ 5.12.1.328 driver ACT Labs Force RS wheel/pedal combo I've read/heard about some sound problems with the Audigy but really don't want to replace the sound card as I'm happy otherwise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Gary

It has been a problem with Papyrus stuff since the dark ages of ICR. Try turning down the sound hardware acceleration in the DirectX sound screen. Run dxdiag.exe to start the directX properties. Other solutions require messing with your system bios to increase/or decrease the pcilatency setting. Avoid 3d sound even tho your card is quite capable. dave
Dave forgot to add, Get NR2003 keep up with the rest of the world, many mods avail too. worth the 9.99 it now costs :) Dave Henrie enlightened us with:
