GPL Sound Problem. Help!

I can set it up to 8 on my SoundBlaster awe64. Any higher and sounds start disappearing. Vintook

I have an AWE32 and have it set to 16. I don't have any sound dropouts and can hear the squeel of the metal rims as they're scraping the guard rails. (Happens alot!) :) >I can set it up to 8 on my SoundBlaster awe64. Any higher and sounds start >disappearing. >Vintook

Make sure in the options screen you do not have the sounds set to more than *4*, also try setting it to less than 4. 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)

I think your problem is with Win98, if you a) kept the old HDD and ran it from there or b) installed the demo by running the gpldemo.exe. if a) or b) is correct, first delete the gpl folder and do it like this: 1. Unpack the gpldemo.exe to c:\gpl using winzip. (Dont run the file) 2. Copy wininet.dll from c:\gpl to c:\gpl\program 3. Make c:\gpl\program\controls directory 4. Start the game, calibrate your joystick, and set your graphic, controller, and audio options. Quit the game *before* going to the screen where the car is on the track. 5. Copy options.ini from c:\gpl\program\controls to c:\gpl\program 6. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini not read only (uncheck in properties) 7. edit c:\gpl\program\options.ini to read: [ Graphic Options ] lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll ; Last rasterizer DLL used [ Driving Resolution ] height = 768 ; Resolution height of the driving screen width = 1024 ; Resolution width of the driving screen Substitute rast3dfx.dll (for 3dfx) with renddll.dll or softdll.dll as appropriate (for rendition or software) Enter resolution as appropriate (e.g. 480x640) 8. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini read only. 9. Start the game. Hope this helps, Hena
