Consider also setting 24 or 32 bit 192 kHz in Control Panel>Sound>Advanced. Please note that attempt of changing details in the game (renderer reset after returning from video settings), and either alt tabbing, have an influence on audio quality, also giving diffreent results depending on g_AudioMode setting to 0, 1 (default) or 2 in registry. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings. 30 Frames on PC is just awful.Guess I wont be scratching that itch until I get a PS4. Alternative fix for the issue can be found here. Ive had an itch to play a racing game on my PC with some eye candy. The solutions are to avoid disapearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Sometimes whole career need to be started from the beginning with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode while using Alchemy/ DSOAL (alternatively as admin, or use 13AG widescreen which will most likely fix the issue). When the PC gaming community created a big issue, they quietly patched it to unlock the FPS. For non-Creative cards users see here or use dsoal. Hope you remember Need For Speed: Run was similarly capped at 30 FPS on PC. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAL. Though the game does not use EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. 8.6 Game does not save the graphics options.
