Win XP Pro, 1.6GHz P4, 128MB, GeForce2MX-400. GPL patched to 1.2, speed-fix, opengl fix - and i think that's the lot right here. GPL worked fine with the onboard sound, recently i installed a SB Live card and now the sound crackles, really crackles, no matter how low the volume is the interference that cuts in is deafening. What's up? Simon.

He solved it by installing the Carsound patch, recent Creative drivers instead of standard windows ones and making sure he doesn't press the throttle when he goes to the track or takes a reset. Turning down hardware accelleration on the soundcard didn't help for him, but has been suggested in similar cases. Jan. =---

Carsound patch? There are many different ones, aren't there? Do you know where he got this patch? > Turning down hardware accelleration on the soundcard didn't help for him, > but has been suggested in similar cases. Didn't work for me either. I removed the card, partly to cure stuttering (didn't help). The mobo-onboard sound is also quite bad, but it doesn't totaly freak out like it did with the SB Live. It used to happen when i did a shift-r. I had to do a second shift-r to get something that had "car-like" sound. :) Jone.

There are a lot of different sounds, no doubt, but only one util that allows for individual sounds to used for each car, AFAIK. He got it from gpl++, IIRC. > > <snip> > Didn't work for me either.

I just recalled someone having a similar problem on a similar system. Jan. =---
I have this problem..I put the hardware aceleration ~lower (on second spot,start counting on left) .But on my pc when it does, i engage R(backwards give a little throttle and without take the foot off engaged first gear.(lol remmenber slow with foot lol)and only in free prctice .......in game you can try but you have to be quick. Mine sb live have the latest drivers and didnt help either. hope this helps.:)) "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:3Ims9.169978$[email hidden]... > > "Jone Tytlandsvik" wrote... > > Carsound patch?

Right click volume icon on the task bar, click Open Volume Controls, then put all the sliders at 3/4 volume. Then adjust volume to your liking with the speakers volume control knob. Hope this helps as it did for me. Sid. "elysium" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aoso6v$ob1$[email hidden]... > Win XP Pro, 1.6GHz P4, 128MB, GeForce2MX-400.

What's up? Someone said somewhere (sorry, I've not had enough coffee yet) that adjusting the sound quality in the APP.INI you'll find in the GPL directory, could solve the problem.
