Does the sound card work ok in other games? or is it just gp2 its not working with? more info would help, eg:- type of sound card? are you using the latest drivers? has win95 detected and setup the sound card ok? are you running gp2 from win95 or dos? d:~)) **Peter** To e-mail remove asterix from e-mail address.

Wondering > > if any could help with a possible solution Thanks for your prompt response Peter Yes Just did, didn't help Seems to be just GP2 - Particularly when Text Menus on screen and during race It set Menu Delay to longer and the music is fine until menu comes back up! Vibra16 - And I think so although I'll look for an update I think the setup is Ok although I have only a little experience with win95. I am running direct from win95 If this helps give more advice I certainly would appreciate it. Mugga

% Hiya, % Since getting a P166MMX 32mb RAM with Win95 (replacing DOS % 586DX100-16mbRAM) and fully installing GP2. I now have a scratchy sound % when driving and in music. Seen a few similar posts in r.a.s. Wondering % if any could help with a possible solution I had a similar problem way back with GP2. It happened as soon as I upgraded my MB. My problem turned out to be a DMA timing problem and was cured with a Motherboard BIOS upgrade. I see in a followup post that you are running directly from Win95. I highly suggest attempting to run it from a pure DOS environment. Did you do a complete harddrive install? Or are you still accessing your CD-ROM? If the latter it may still be a DMA problem with your Win95 setup. Do you have any soundcard or CD-ROM drivers installed in your config.sys and/or autoexec.bat files? If you are running in Win95, I suggest removing these in order to get the benefit of Win95's virtual drivers. -- **************************** Michael E.
