Crapy Audio with OpenGL (GeF 2 MX 400 + SB 128 PCI)

OpenGL OpenGL: User Software
1

when playin in OpenGL rendering with my newly installed GeForce 2 MX 400 family board, the sound become crappy after a while.

it sounds like metallic and with light reverb.
problem occur under different settings (color depth, res, low audio quality, no EAX, etc…)

i’ve spent so much lookin for the solution.
finally i’ve found my audio board is not a true SB128PCI but a SBvibra 128 pci !
(gasp! )

whatever, my drivers are the newest, win98 is tuned up finely.

also, i’d like to find a way to create/get a file that allow me to change my old monitor’s resolution settings in a single operation.
(i’d like to edit the file and set to 60 Hz all res !)

Thanx a lot for takin me out of this crap .

SB 128 PCI cards have always had problems with games, missing sounds and clipping. I had the same problem too!!!

spent AU$138 and got myself a SoundBlaster Audigy D.E. Works great with games, good sound at 24bit/96khz…

That’s what I’ll do ASAP !
But for the moment I’d like to get some tracks to find how to optimize my sound board’s performances…

Thanx for information !
This would mean Creative is manufacturing ALSO Crapy SoundBlaster OEM boards !!!

I’ll never more consider Creative as the
best Sound boards manufacturer, also because the new Hercules Fortissimo 3 gives a serious hit to them.

I think monopoly is not the best position as you can notice about Bill Gates’s troubles.
Concurency is always good .

Have a look at theses links :

noises, cracks, jitter, etc… -> http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/…Case=obj(13635)

MoBo’s buses noise reduction -> http://dmzweb4.europe.creative.com/SRVS/…,Case=obj(1507)

In the Creative Knowledge Base are a lot of troubleshouting answers about GeForce, SoundBlaster and many other stuff including some General PC (BIOS, MoBo,…) Setup Informations.

Hope this will help billions of ppl around the world
