Sound Glitch in GPL

Now that my Graphics are working fine, I have a problem with sound being crackly and cutting out intermitently on replays (fine in the***pit though) I have Creative Voodoo2 card and SB PCI128 sound card 96mb ram p2 300 Pentium. Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I had problems with my PCI128 as well but someone on here sent me a new sound.dat file that fixed it. Sorry that I dont know where to get it but I know the PCI128 problem is not rare and the fix works pretty good. Scott PA-Scott -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

You may want to try the following (not 100% sure as I have a SB PCI64): In Windows 98 go to Control Panel - Multimedia - Audio tab - SB PCI128 Playback - Advanced Properties - Performance. Then move the Hardware acceleration slider one position to the left and OK your way out. Repeat if the sound is still distorted. In my system the slider is on the second position from the left.

Any ideas for us who have Windows95?? <VBG> Scott PA-Scott -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Thanks, I'll look out for the fix - Nice to know I'm not alone....

Jeesh, when it rains it pours. :) This is a common problem with GPL and the SB PCI64 & 128 cards. I'll just do the old cut & paste from my other post so you can fix this annoyance. I quoteth myself from another post: I have a SB PCI128, which is a very similar card to the one that you have. When using GPL, I also noticed exactly the same problem you describe: distortion and sound break-up from specific cars. The problem is that some of the car sounds are sampled at a different rate, and the SB PCI cards seem to ***with this. Luckily, it's very easy to fix. First try this page for info and files: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Pit/6051/ You don't have to d/l the entire sound.dat file, just d/l the smaller waves files and place them in your C:\SIERRA\gpl\sound\ directory. You might also want to try some of the custom sound packages for GPL that are floating around. All that I tried work and sound great. -- Douglas Bollinger Mt.

Thanks all - I'll give it a go!!
