Re: N4 Sound Missing

I checked and soundcard is not sharing an IRQ. I think that tip was for people with skipping sound. I have nothing at all. Thanks for the reply. Any ideas ?

The only thing different between our setups is I have an AMD. My SBlive works fine, and I just did the 'standard' install... Although, I'm probably using older drivers than yours. I haven't updated in a while... What IRQ's do you have for the SBlive and V3? Mine are...hold on... <runs system information...> 9 - Creative sb16 emulation 11 - 3DFX Voodoo 3 11 - SBLive I don't know if that will help any...

Sb Live - IRQ 5 SB 16 emulation - IRQ 9 Voodoo 3 - IRQ 11 Is N4 sound working okay for you ? I notice that your V3 and SB live are sharing an IRQ - Does that cause you any problems ?

Hi, Downloaded n4 demo. Very impressive. Runs pretty well at 800 x 600 on P500 & V3 3000. I have no sound at all - no engine sound, no skids, no spotter etc. Using SB live value. Latest drivers. I have seen posts with people suffering glitchy sound but I can`t get any. I have tried re-installing - same problem. Looks like this game will be fantastic. Please help - I`m sure it is the lack of sound that is holding my lap times back !! Thanks Karl.

One fellow had sucess in moving his sound card to a different irq. Make sure when your system first boots up that NO other device is sharing an irq with the soundcard.... There are two ways to go about this...physically remove the sound card and place it in another slot.(after removing it inside windows first in the control panel-system-device manager0 or go into the device manager and clik on your sound card, and try to change the the irq setting in the resources section. dave henrie "Karl Brankin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:90dkha$kko$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > Downloaded n4 demo.

Dunno. I've *always* had IRQ sharing going on, but I don't know if it's caused any problems. I haven't been able to fix it - I really don't think I have any LEFT... The F1 window slowdown was also experienced by at least two others. Jan and (?), do you guys have shared IRQ's?

Since you didn't quote anything, I'm not sure you're talking to me. But since my V3 and SBLive *do* share an IRQ, I'll respond. N4 sound works fine. I haven't *noticed* any problems. At least, nothing obvious. I've only run about 10 laps at Dover, and about 20 at Michigan. I haven't run multiplayer yet.

Just out of curiosity, I just dumped myself down into Windows & tried it myself. I'm getting virtually no difference (~1 fps) with the F1 screen displayed. Something is at work here. Although on another note, my SBLive doesn't pick up the spotter's voice unless I disable 3d sound. -- Chuck Kandler Linux, because life's too short for a buggy OS.

I have the same F1 screen slowdown P2 450@500 128 mb RAm V3 3000 SB Live No IRQ sharing. Still no sound in N4 demo. Now I don`t have sound in MBTR either - great game btw.

Curious. Someone else with a 550 stated they had the same slowdown, so it's not speed related. I can't remember who(besides Jan) had the same problem. Maybe that's the common thread.

Well, maybe the IRQ sharing *does* affect something. I assume you don't have any sharing going on?

Correct. I should have stated that as well. My bad... Pertinent specs are- Celeron 466@525 128MB PC133 RAM V3 3000 Abit BE6R2 SB Live! -- Chuck Kandler Linux, because life's too short for a buggy OS. Registered Linux User #180746 http://counter.li.org

I have an AMD cpu, and have sound, but I have the F1 slowdown. I can't comment on the spotter, because I haven't run multiplayer yet. Karl has an Intel, and NO sound... Maybe somehow related to some cpu option? I don't have the back messages to refer to what everyone else had...

Shared IRQ's are part of the PCI spec and are part of completely normal operation. This was NOT true of ISA slots. That said, most techies agree that your AGP card should have it's own IRQ, which you can force by not putting a card that requires an IRQ in the PCI slot next to the AGP card - they usually share the same IRQ. -Travis "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <[email hidden]>, Uncle Fester <[email hidden]> > writes: > > >> >> Dunno.
