Trouble with engine sounds with Nascar 2 Demo!

Hey all - I have an Ensoniq pn'p sound card that works great under the original Nascar and even autodetects under the demo - but I don't get any digital sounds other than the spotter! Kinda quiet in the ol'***pit! I have 32MB of RAM and a 133mhz pentium and am running the game rebooted in DOS mode. I have even copied the sound.cfg file from the original Nascar over to my new directory but to no avail. I don't really see any errors and it seems to initialize the sound card and the test under the setup for sound works. Anyone out there get theirs to work for engine and crash sounds? Papyrus - any thoughts? I know it is just a demo, so don't waste too many brain cells on this one - you have bigger projects to work on!! Thanks for any help that can be provided. I love the demo aside from no sounds other than my spotter!

Well, you're doing better than I am. I have an Ensoniq wavetable card that also works great under the original NASCAR, but not only does it not work under the demo... it causes the demo to crash. If I delete the sound configuration file, the demo works fine... if I have a sound configuration file in the demo directory, it crashes. Oh well..... like you said, it's just a demo. It's gonna' have some quirks. ~Michael

I too had this problem..Turns out it was of my own making and i am assuming yours too. Turn the announcer priority to 85%. At 100% the announcer has total priority which turns the engine sounds off..try it Randy

Michael, I too have an Ensoniq (VIVO version). I can't get anything but digital sound to work with either Nascar version. Just wondering if you've gotten FM sound to work on yours. (I'm running Win95 but booting to DOS for the sim) The demo sound worked fine for me just by copying in my other sound.cfg file. Good luck. dglenn

Hi Michael, When you set up the sound card in the setup program, did the sound test program work? Adam Papyrus
