Nascar 2 No sound :( on a new system.

I just did a clean install of win98. My mobo is the ASUS P2B PII-400 CL- PCI64 Nascar 2 installs but I cannot run the sound set up. During the install of N2, I get the message, your system is configred properly to play wave files. But the game has no sound. Any ideas?

Jerry, I had the same problem with a similar system and someone posted this fix that worked for me: Manually set up the soundcard as a: Soundblaster Pro Mono Address 220 IRQ 5 DMA 1 -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

Drop down to your DOS window and type "set" at the prompt. Look for a line that says "Blaster" and write down your Address, DMA, and IRQ settings that show there. Go to your sound setup and plug those in with your soundcard name as SoundBlaster. This worked for me when I got my new system in September. Hope it does for you too. Good luck.

My problem is the Sound set-up program aborts when I start it up. Jerry

I'm really sorry I totally misread your problem there. I haven't experienced that but are you trying it with or without the CD in the drive? Gary >My problem is the Sound set-up program aborts when I start it up. >Jerry

This is the message I get when I run sound set up: ...

Type "n2" to run Nascar racing 2. If I run the game, the graphics are fine. I just cannot get any sound. This is on a new system.

I had the same problem. It is the Matrox G200 with the 1.5 Bios installed. Flash to the 1.3 bios and you will be able to get into the sound setup screens. Appears that the latest bios doesn't support all VESA implementations. I found this fix on one of the Matrox user group sites. The previous bios can be found at Matrox. Make sure you first delete the MGA\SETUP directory before installing the newer (older) bios program. The reason is the Matrox install program will not overwrite the present .BIN files. It won't tell you that either. Do the install and the flash the bios from a dos prompt using the readme.txt instructions. The name of the file you need at Matrox is SETUP343.ZIP. Robert Roschen
