N2003 - spotter in 3d sound

When I select 3d sound I hear the spotter only out of one side. Is this normal? Any way to change it?

Urban Legend caused by***poor Creative Labs sound cards. lol MadDAWG

Well, since you are hearing him through your headphones, not from him shouting from on top of the stands down past all the noise of your car and the other 42... Do NASCAR guys wear a single earpiece or do they get their instructions in stereo? Marc "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ah, cool. I haven't had to bear the effects of a Creative Labs sound card for several years :) Larry "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I run an Audigy 2, and get no noticeable frame rate hit with 3d sound. Don Burnette

Same here. If you need 3dsound and EAX, the A2 is the card to have. And it sounds better than the A7N8X Dlx onboard sound, and gives me no online crackles (unlike the onboard chip).

I solved ALL of my sound problems (PCI bandwidth theft, crackling noises, conflicts, hard-to-find updates, etc...) about 2 years ago when I switched to Turtle Beach Santa Cruz cards :) Sound is something I don't have to even think about any more. It's just 'there' like it's supposed to be.

So you've said about a 1000 fn times for both Creative and ATI products. The Audigy2 and the 9700Pro are both excellent products and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either to anyone. You are really doing yourself and the ones that may listen to your advice a disservice by continually knocking great products. Things can change Larry, really they can!
