NR2002 Lack of engine sound with 3D enabled

I have an Audigy sound card and have the problem with the main engine sound disappearing (the idle sound is there) when 3D sound is checked. Is this something that Papy will be fixing or is it due to a fault in the Creative drivers?

Do you have a Nvidia card? For some reason the video drivers play hell with the sounds. I have a philips sound card and I couldn't get playable sound until i tried the 27.42 drivers MadDAWG

What drivers are you using Marc? I am using the XP drivers from Creative, on win XP of course, and don't have this problem with my Audigy Gamer.

Do you have 5.1 sound? N2002 is pretty unique in the sense it uses 5 channel sound, and the engine sound comes fom the centre speaker only on my Audigy. If you haven't got a centre channel, is this perhaps the explanation?

That's what I thought until I read that there were problems with the Audigy and the Live! and that others with 2 speaker set-ups can use the 3D sound option.

I am using the latest manufacturer (Asus) drivers available for my card. Marc "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Do you have a Nvidia card?

I lose the engine sound on my SBLive, 4 speaker setup, when running the game for the first time. I just uncheck 3Dsound, go into the car, hear the sounds, press ESC choose Options, check 3Dsound, go into the car and drive (with sounds). Luckily, I haven't lost the engine sound when starting a race yet :) Marc Collins wrote:

....you mean you do this every time you start the game!!!!??! Obviously it is a bug in 2002, then. (I thought maybe you only had to do this once to reset something.) Marc "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Dyuc8.43643$[email hidden]...
