Disabling sound

I've found that the best way for my machine to run GP4 is with the souind card disabled. I wondered if there was a way of getting GP4 to do this when it starts up, or failing that, put an icon on the desktop to disable/enable the sound card?

Or is there a file like f1graphics.cfg, but for sounds?

I'mm using Win98SE, BTW

anyone?

What I do is to uncheck all the buttons in the GP4 sound menu and reduce everything to 0% volume. This gets me a few more fps that way. As for disabling the sound card using GP4 when you run it or using a desktop shortcut, I can't think of any possibilities there. Either disable the sound card yourself whenever you run GP4 or try out my suggestion.

your soundchip or card (?) is to slack it seems. try a new driverfor that and enable full hardware acceleration if its not .maybe.....

Tried two sound cards (one inbuilt one and a PCI one) and the result was the same with both-70% just after the game loads, then jumping to 200-300% as soon as the engines start

Well there must be a better way....a driving game with no sound

I have a cheapo 10 5.1 card made by c media, there's very little po hit with it, and its a good card too :D

Erm...you can't read it :-p

when my onboad sound chip blew up i had 2 disable it in bios as sound was all crackly and you coulnt understad a thing. When i did this and loaded GP4 The game would ctd at the end of loading. Seems as thought you cannot play gp4 withput a soundcar at least installed.

Yeah I found that when disabling both my soundcards.

@qwerty-both my sound chips are CMedia, both give a 100% PO hit. Why? Also, with my card, GP4 won't let me use 3d acceleration.

Who needs sound? Something in my computer has started making this stupid whining noise, which sounds exactly like a F1 car going up the gears!! Probably not a good sign, but it's fun while it lasts!

To divert slightly from this topic, anyone know here I can get a self-installing 2004 ferrari?
