I received my copy from UBI last week and have just got around to racing it. I am having a sound problem where the rear/3d sound drops out. Well it sorta drops in on occasion. I really would like to have this fixed and I have played around with the ini file for the sound but there was no change. Anyone else hear/not hear this problem? Any suggestions?

YUP!!! I'm having the same problem. It get's worse if you try and edit the sounds with the sound editor. Tried using a SBLive Value and a SB AWE64. With the SB AWE64 I get terrible POPs and CLICKs from engine sound. I get the sound "drop out" with the SBLive. Something is really wrong with the sound in this sim! Sal V.

Same thing here too. And I don't think it can't be my system, because it happens at EXACTLY the same points on every lap. For example, at Imola the sound will cut out for a couple of seconds every lap on the run down to Rivazza. And at Monaco it happens just past *** and down towards Loews.

Tim, what soundcard do you use? I've had nothing but trouble with my SB PCI 64. With the original drivers I would lose all sounds after 2 laps, with the latest drivers I lose all sounds except the engine in the car I'm driving. This happens only with F1RS and the MGP Demo, I won't spend the money for the full sim until I know it will work with this card. -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

I have an SBPCI64 which is really an AudioPCI also. The sound (3D positional) in F1RS is just great. So since we have the same card (be sure you have the 1370 Ensoniq chip on your board) it cannot be the SBPCI64. Did you get the latest Windows98 drivers from the Ensoniq/Creative site(s)? This driver totally kicks ass. Also I will confirm for certain that the sound in F1RS is ***with the origional drivers. The 3d sound patch is not possible until you get newer drivers. However I think you can just get the latest drivers and be done with it. I believe these drivers were released ~1 month ago and advertized as new W98 drivers. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

I have the PCI128, and I do have the newest drives released about a week ago from Creative. This is the only game that has rear channel sound problems. Unreal is awesome and have no problems, MGPRS2 does I hope I can get this fixed. The regular sound is bad but at least I can hear it thru the front sound and I can drive, but that isn't what I paid for...... Tim ____ Remove .spamstopper to reply ____
I have exactly the same problem with my SB PCI 128. For example, as you leave the pits in Brazil, alongside the wall, you get a drop-out. I have no engine sounds from the other cars (or they are so quiet as to be inaudible while playing). This, along with the other 1,001 bugs, will presumably be addressed in some future patch should Ubi ever get around to releasing one. Marc.

I hope that it is not long in coming, or it is fixed by the time the title is released in the US... tim ____ Remove .spamstopper to reply ____

Hi Greg, I don't know what the problem is. I do have the latest Win98 drivers, before loading those I had no rear sound capability at all. I'm wondering if the problem might be with one or more of the 3rd party sounds or maybe the no menu sound patch. BTW, I just picked up a set of the Cambridge Soundworks 4 Position speakers and sub-woofer. So far I'm very impressed with the big sound from such a tiny footprint. -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola
