F1RS Sound problems

Just changed my sound card from AWE64 to Diamond Monster Sound M80. F1RS know hassound cutting out. Notice the sound cutting out only when there are other AI cars around me. Sound is OK when I am alone on thetrack, but if I am in traffic (i.e. first turn first lap, etc.) the sound will completely cut out. Help anyone??!! Have tried a fresh renstall of F1 to no avail. PII300 96MB Ram 1.09 patch Dierct SOund patch Win 98 DX6 Thanks in advance!! P.S. Am brand new to this newsgroup - glad to know that I am not the only racing SIM lover out there! SSmith

I had the same problem with my AudioPCI. It was fixed when Creative/Ensoniq released newer drivers. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >Just changed my sound card from AWE64 to Diamond Monster Sound M80. >F1RS know hassound cutting out.

Greg, could you post the URL for the new Ensoniq driver. Was it the October release I've been reading about? I'm having lots of problems with the darn thing in F1RS as well as GPL. I had so much trouble with the Ensoniq card in my old machine that I removed it and put the old SB16 back in. My new machine came with the Ensoniq and I'd like to get it to work this time.

The Oct. 2 release fixed my F1RS problem too, but then it broke the previously perfectly working GPL sounds as a "bonus."

i have that same board, tried all there sound patches and they all sucked, install the game ,and patch with 1.09 , DO NOT use the sound patch, as they only*** up the sound, then you can get back to driving, this is the only driving sim

Yahoo!!!! IT WORKS!!! Thanks to all of you who took the time to respond to my post. Did a full reinstall and no UBI sound patches and it all works like it should now. Thanks again!!!! Steve

My Sound cuts out also. I can hear the other cars but lose the engine sound from my car. This does not happen right away at the start but soon after. I have 2 different computers both win 98 and it does it on both. It did not do this until win 98. I also have 2 different sound cards and video cards. I have tried it in both dx5 and dx 6 and get it in both. Are there any others who have this problem?

I believe I got them from the ensoniq web site or the soundblaster web site. They are new W95/W98 drivers. If your Ensoniq has a 1370 chipset it will work. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >>I had the same problem with my AudioPCI.

same thing bro, forget the sound patches, as they only mess up the sound, just install, patch to 1.09, and DO NOT patch the sound
