GP2 Sound Conflicts

After buying GP2 on the 19th of July (South Africa), I have been frustrated by CONSTANT*** of the game. I suspect it is my sound card that causes this conflict because when I run C:\>GP2\GP2 NOSOUND the game works perfectly. Sometime the game hangs right after the start of the race. The game just stop and gives me a message typed all over the screen saying "granular failure" or something like that. I tried the usual (all possible combinations of IRQ and DMA settings as well as Sound Blaster emulation. I also checked that I have enough enough extended Memory 10 Mb and enough Conventional 580 k),with no success. My sound card is a 'ProAudio Spectrum 16' Has anybody had the similar problem. Please give me advice if you had. Thanks. Deon

I'm also using a PAS-16 with no problems on GP2. In fact, the sound is great! Make sure you reboot in DOS mode if you are using Win95. -- "Let's kick the tires and light the fires Big Daddy!" -anonymous dead wingman

: I'm also using a PAS-16 with no problems on GP2. In fact, the sound is : great! Make sure you reboot in DOS mode if you are using Win95. I have the PAS+ and the sound works in DOS. However, the "stereo" effect of going over curbs seems to change. Sometimes the sound comes out the right speaker for right hand curbs and other times it seems to come out the left. -- **************************** Michael E.

I think that's Bob Dole's campaign slogan for the upcoming election! At least he's keeping the NASCAR paintkit artists happy by trying to give tobacco companies their "rightful" place in Winston Cup racing. ;) My political offiliation? The Sim Racing Party, of course! Kyle

Seems that the curb sound does switch tires from time to time. I hear it too. Small matter, seeing as how it's the only curb sounds in town...hehehe JEB in Vegas
