This is yet another sound glitch thread.
LFS has never stuttered on my system, UNTIL NOW. Sound crackles (sounds like shorted speakers, BAD!); game stutters for several frames.
It happens with a track full of cars in multiplayer, it happens all alone in single player qualifying.
I played with many sliders, sound lag & min sleep in game, acceleration slider in Windoze sound properties, D/L'd newest Direct X, turned off flags and tree draw...
While the new sound is an improvement, the "shorted out" speakers sound has to get fixed...stutter is not an LFS trait.
