I still find it amazing that this problem has not been resolved. I mean,
why should we Creative owners have to disable '3D sound' in N2002. Are Papy
not going to patch this? They have been aware of the problem from the
start.
Even with 3d disabled, I still get really bad distortion on sound with my
Audigy. Puts me off using N2002 - shame really!

Wow, that's the first time I hear about sound problems in N2k2, I really
believed it's my new (cheap) soundcard (Hercules Muse XL)...
It's making some kind of white noise every few seconds here.

Really? One of the things patched with NR2002 was all the sound problems
with it. A large number of people had (and for some still have) problems
with sound in the game.
(From the patch readme)
SOUND:
* Improved opponent car engine sounds to produce less crackling.
* Improved player car engine sound to reduce popping in mid-RPM range.
* Improved tire sounds to reduce popping with some sound card drivers (e.g.
SBLive!).
* Added a new core.ini setting (force_min_readahead) to address occasional
win2k/XP sound driver issue that resulted in much popping/crackling.
* Fixed 3D sound issue where some views would have severely muted focus car
sounds.
* Did *not* fix 3D sound problem where internal (stereo) cockpit sounds will
sometimes fail to play for some sound drivers (e.g. SBLive! on XP systems).
Users experiencing this problem should not run with 3d sound enabled.
* Found an issue where if you had disabled sound, when exiting the game or
viewing the win screen the game would appear to lock up, but in actuality it
is just doing nothing until the music finishes streaming. The user can work
around this by not having sound disabled and intro/exit sequences enabled at
the same time.

As somebody else was saying, it sounds like there's a dead corpse being
dragged behind the car? That's about what every one of us has as a problem.

I have one last hope though. A memory check (done because WarCraft3 was
crashing all the time) revealed a bad mem stick. Have to test N2k2,
maybe it's not the drivers or the sim...
