Colin Mcrae 04

Sorry I know it's not the right group to ask but I really ran out of places
to ask. Does anyone experience severe continuous static noise in Colin
Mcrae 3 or 04? And did any of you fix it? I tried everywhere and no one
had a solution. Could it be a video codec and do you know which one is
causing it?

I am using the Sound Blaster Live! XGamer with the default Windows XP
driver. I cannot install the official LiveWARE! or counterstrike would
loose the 32 simultaneous wav channels. Please don't tell me to adjust the
dx sound acceleration settings.

Thanks.

I dunno which version of the driver you mean by LiveWare as they've stopped
calling it that a long time ago.

Just install the Live Drv Uni pack( the Audigy1/Live unified drivers ). It
supports 32 3d hardware buffers.

All the Live's use a unified driver under XP.

Thanks for replying but that's exactly what I used before and lost the
channels in counter strike. + it hangs mp3 when going to games. And the
Audio HQ also lost a slider I used to have that let's you tweak the number
of simultaneous voices.

I had to uninstall everything and use the XP default SB live driver for
everything to work. Also tried switching slots and all sorts of things.
But so far my system is fine, except for the colin mcrae series.

Thanks anyway.

Under XP, you don't get an option for simultanoues voices in Audio HQ.
That's was only for WAV file playback under Windows 95/98, not under
DirectX. Under DirectSound3D, you get upto 32 hardware buffers and you don't
have to specify how many to use.

What do you mean it hangs MP3? What exactly happens? That's very strange. I
used to have a Live and never had any problems with playing back MP3s while
playing games.
