hi all , anyone had a problem with the sound just cutting out during a race ?
if i go back to the pits and re start sometimes the sound comes back
or if the race has a restart the sound comes back ?

i have windows vista 64 , xfi extreme music sound card ?
help needed its driving me mad thanks keith

Did you try Shift + W?

yes i've tried that but no luck !
its strange because the sound will come back when you have a re start
or joining a new race ?
anyone got a fix for this

shift N?

Re-install lfs i guess.

Vista 64 + X-Fi used to create massive issues (Blame Creative!) - uninstall all your old X-Fi drivers and download the latest ones and install them.

FWIW, i'm running an X-Fi XtremeMusic + Vista x64 just fine in LFS.

hi thanks for your assistance , what creative drivers are you using ?
im using 2 15 0006 which is the latest one i think !
there is a beta version 2 18 but i think it not to stable

i'll try a reinstall of the sound drivers !
and reinstall the game !

anyone else got any help for me thanks keith

put new sound drivers on ,did a new install of lfs but no luck sound still fades when on a race for 3 to 5 mins , have to restart a race and all ok for 5 mins
has anyone got any ideas ?
please please please help lol

ps i also get an interference noise sometimes like feedback ? for 10 secs then it goes away !!!!!!
should i talk to my pc maker
thanks keith

Ssssssh!

They never used to happen...

JAKG ! are you able to assist anymore ?
driver version etc
thanks keith

anyone else use vista 64 and a xfi card ? with no problems !
if so what graphics card are you using ?
i think my nvidia 9800 gx2 could be the problem with the sound ?

I have no idea what i'm using, but i remember this being an issue with the older drivers - all i can recommend is downloading the latest drivers.

I'm using an 8800GTX (and have used a 7950GT) with no problems. Can't see it being the GFX cards though.

thanks jakg !
i think its my sound card and drivers, but my pc maker thinks its an issue with my gfx card ? interferece etc in game so hes going to send me a new 280 gtx to try single gpu
i also have 4 gig of ram which ive heard is a problem with creative and vista
i'll let you know how i get on, if you hear of a possible answer to my problem please come back to me thanks keith

well the problem is still there ! all i want to do is play the game with sound
new gfx card fitted looks great
but the issue didnt go

who else uses vista 64 bit and xfi card with no sound problems
HELP ME !!!!!!!! PLEASE

maybe the xfi forum?

Might be worth trying to get the modded drivers from Daniel_K - although I really am out of my depth here.

thanks guys !

going to fit a new xfi card now from my pc maker ,should be delivered by tues, the old one may be faulty ?
if that fails , a bios update will be done
a have thought about the daniel k drivers so i'll give those a try if all else fails
thankyou keith

no problems now ?
did a bios flash on my motherboard and all is ok HOORAY ?
thanks for your help keith
