NR2003 - 3D Sound Issue

Little help....since installing the BGN/Truck patches, I have no spotter when 3D sound is enabled. I have a Santa Cruz sound card that certainly supports 3D sound, and have the latest drivers installed. Anyone else have this problem and found a solution?

Try turning down the amount of sounds played to 8, that should do it. I have both Audigy 1 and Audigy 2 in two sepperate machines, and had this problem. Also horrible echo effects that rendered using 3D sound just too annoying to bother using. Hope that helps you. SD

I'm still running the drivers off the CD. 3d sound, 24 sounds played, and the spotter still works fine. MadDAWG

Thanks.....Figured the problem out. Had my sound set to 5.1 compatible and NR2003 didn't like that. On Wed, 28 Jan 2004 05:35:09 -0500, "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Damn, I think I turned mine down to 5(8?) - to improve fps... Man, if I had 24 sounds going I'd probably suffer from information overload...

Ive always told ya I think sound or lack of was a problem for you. Sound is how you get the "seat of the pants feel". Thats how you know when youre on the limit. Driving without full sound is like driving with blinders on. Mitch "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I stop buying Creative cards after buying one of those POS Live 5.1s MadDAWG

The latest drivers are, um, not so good in NR2003 (if it's the June 2003 Release Candidates, that is). I had no end of trouble in NR2003 with them. The first TBSC driver that ever gave me trouble. IMHO, the most stable set for NR2003 is 4161s. -Larry "T.

Honestly, I don't know how much of a hit THAT particular thing was, because I changed a bunch of things at once. Maybe I'll boost the sounds and see what happens...

I think all my problems are visual - I can't judge how fast I'm going very well...
