Anyone else have sound issues with NR2003?

I have a Hercules Game Theatre XP sound card and everytime I start a race, I cannot hear my own engine sound in any view execpt cockpit view. If I go to the options menu and check/uncheck the 3d Sound box, the sound will come back. You have to do this once at the start of the race and it stays fixed. It's a little annoying but at least I know how to fix it. -Tim

It did the same in NR2002 if you had too many sounds playing, but if you either cycled through the driving views or reduced the number of sounds it would sort it out. The demo behaved similarly, but in the full game once I had checked 3D sound, even if went back and unchecked it before quitting the game, the next time I started the game the card would still be trying to do 3D, even with the box unchecked. Not only that, but I was getting 3D echoes of all the sounds in Windows, like mouse clicks, etc. after quitting the game. And if I mucked with it much in-game, it would invariably lock up my PC. Uninstalled, cleaned out the folders and reinstalled, and now seems OK. Not messing with 3D sound any more! Odd; the only issue I've had trouble with in virtually every Papy release has been sound, even with different sound cards and PC's. SB

Oops - just to clarify; I had no engine sound IN cockpit view w/3D sound on; which is a documented Audigy issue in the readme. The rest, OTOH... ;-) "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > I have a Hercules Game Theatre XP sound card and everytime I start arace, > I > > cannot hear my own engine sound in any view execpt cockpit view.

Sound has always been an issue with the Papy games. You wouldn't believe how different mine sounds in OpenGL vs. D3D. Yep the graphics type makes a difference. I have a Phillips AE sound card and I have to run 3d sound in D3D or the sounds get stuck in a loop. After reading the readme file I'm not really sure if there is a sound card that actually works.

My card > isn't even on their list of problematic soundcards. I actually quit playing N2002 because of constant white noise when on the track. I was hoping N2003 would fix that, but nope, same problem in the demo, horrible white noise. Unless it's fixed, I'll have to keep not playing N2k2 and not buying N2k3... ;( Hercules Gamesurround Muse XL Athlon 1.4G, KT133 l8er ronny
