GPL and SBLive

7 posts by 5 people · 14 Feb 1999 - 14 Feb 1999

I've been running GPL in my overclocked 300A and abit BH6. It has been running great for me. I have the SB Live card, and today picked up a couple of extra speakers, to add for the rear. I changed the speaker setting in audio hq to 4. Now, when I run GPL, it constantly pauses or goes to the replay screen. Almost every lap. I removed the 2 rear speakers, changed it back in audio hq to 2, and GPL runs great once again. Is anyone running GPL with the SB Live and 4 speakers? Man, the sound was awesome, much better than I have with 2, but I don't know what to do about the problem. Thanks for any help, -- Don Burnette Palmetto Racing Dburn on Ten
Runs great with the Creative (Cambridge) Soundworks four-point speakers. Tony

Hi Don, Sorry to post a basically useless message, but after I bought a rear pair of speakers, my SB Live worked fine in GPL (and GPL worked fine with SB Live). This is in marked distinction to my experiences with GP2 . . . (see post above under GP2). Isn't there a setting in Environments (at the popup screen SB Live install at the top of the desktop) that also has to be changed for four-speaker support? At least make sure it isn't set to legacy 2-speaker. best of luck, DK

Yes, I did change it to 4 speakers.

I'm thinking about taking these 2 speakers back and getting the Soundworks set later on. I have the Altec Lansing acs 490's w/ subwoofer on the front, and the 2 I just picked up for the rear are the Aura Aspect 20's. Does the Soundworks have real good sound, bass, etc? -- Don Burnette Palmetto Racing Dburn on Ten >Runs great with the Creative (Cambridge) Soundworks four-point speakers. >Tony
I run mine through my surround sound stereo. They just put out a patch for it!! Sounds great here :)> "ZZ" -- Official member IGPS (Internet Grand Prix Series) ----------------- Busch Carpentry "Plans?" ---------------- Busch Motorsports "Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward"

No personal offense intended for sure but I must say after trying the cambridge 4-point surround system that the quality of the sound sucked! big time! The subwoofer effect was kind of cool but wayyy overdone and the little speakers sounded like... little speakers, ther was virtually no midrange sound at all! I am using a set of yamaha speakers and the quality is great. I really was hoping for much better from the cambridge system. Even though GPL does not support surround sound I am looking forward to SCGT and a patch for GPL that does. Let's keep this thread going, I want to know what works for most people. JM
