GPL Sound problems continued

Hi folks,

after upgrading to XP pro I still haven't fully resolved my GPL sound
issue (even on the new audigy 2 zs). After a bit of driving, sometimes
the sound goes all digital and high-pitched, and the system needs a
reboot in order to get decent sound working again.

I "fixed" this problem thanks to another hint posted here a while ago,
by installing the gpl2004 demo into a separate folder and copying over
everything from the demo installation to my gpl folder.

However, I cannot stand the brabham sound provided with the demo, so I
was wondering if anybody has the original brab.wav file extracted from
the audio.dat so that I could use it with my gpl installation.

All the best & thanks for any ideas,

uwe

Download dooDAT v1.3 and you can extract the originals sounds.

I'm having the exact same problem since going to XP pro but a reboot
doesn't clear it up for me. It does it almost all the time but then
sometimes, very rarely, clears up by itself, very flaky. I'm still using a
SB Live sound card. I'll give your solution a try.
I agree with Driver's suggestion of using dooDat to extract the wav file,
but I'll send it to you if you'd prefer. Don

Hi Don,

after copying over the 2004 demo files, re-apply the 1.2.0.1 patch
plus cpu speedfix. So far, the sewing machine sound has *not*
reappeared, but I've said that far too often for my taste over the
last couple of months.

Good luck,

uwe

FWIW -- I had similar problems with GPL sound in XP Pro when I had an
SBLive card. I ended up replacing the SBLive card with a TB Santa Cruz,
which at the time (2 years ago?) cost only $40. That solved my problem.
The card is probably even less expensive now.

The Santa Cruz is a wonderful card. I still have mine somewhere, but it was
replaced with a Audigy 2 Platinum Pro.

I don't recall why I did it. Sometimes I wish I hadn't.

Uwe, it's like you have become our group's own personal beta whipping
boy.
Keep finding the fixes laddie..
(of course I'll never remember this by the time I finally am forced to XP
or it's offspring)

SB live! has an unresolved issue with XP, and there seems to be no fix
for it, *except* reducing the amount of "sound hardware acceleration" to
next to none.

However, this is not acceptable, at least not in my computer config,
since the sound will lag, and have ugly "notches", which combined will
make GPL next to unplayable, mind you.

I bought a SB audigy 2 card, and GPL works nicely with that one, BUT
that card will mess up the NR2003 sounds, playing havoc with the
volumes, among other things it will reduce your engine level to "barely
audible"... So SB Audigy2 will make NR2003 unplayable...

So, a natural question arises: Is there a soundcard out there that will
work with BOTH GPL and NR2003???

Hmm, I swapped my SBLive! Value for an Audigy 2 ZS and so far it
appears to work fine. *fingers crossed*
