GPL SoundPack

I just installed an add-on called carsound which patches the gpl.exe and adds new sounds for all the cars. I really like the different sounds! But, I'm having a problem with noise in the sound, like slight cracks and just a general fuzzy distortion. The cracks I'm hearing with the Eagle; the static happens at idle in the Ferrari. Does anyone else get this? I'm wondering if it's my soundcard getting stressed, something with my machine, or just the sounds themselves? specs: sblive Abit KT7A Anthon 1.2 256 PC133 voodoo 5 Netgear NIC

I'm running a SBLive and KT7A here too and get some hissing /crackling when using the Ferrari . Seems to be a common complaint with the SBLive . Haven't found a solution yet though it works fine with most other apps. Having tried different WAV files I'm sure that the Ferrari file has a few "impurities" which ruin that "clean" sound we're looking for. Andrew

Seems to be a common complaint with the SBLive .Haven't Yes, I was going mad when I first put this together trying to track down an issue with the sound card where I would get these really bad pops and a lot of noise. I went as far as ditching the sblive for a turtle beach sata cruz, which fixed about 90% of the problem but still gave me a little static and popping. As it turns out, I went back to the sblive but put it in PCI slot #1 and problem solved... well, so I thought... the soundpack is the first thing that hasn't sounded right since moving the sound card. I'm not 100% convinced it's the sound card. During my first go round, in addition to the noise, I was getting dismal performance in N4 and GPL. There was this awful stutter... At least that's not back. Anyhow- Thanks for posting! > found a solution yet though it works fine with most other apps. Havingtried

Turn off all sound effects for your sblive, think its in the surround mixer ... Also place the bass/treble sliders in neutral position. entertainment/volumecontrol/advance.
