Wierd sound in ORTS?

In v360, I keep getting this really odd sound. It kind of sounds like a Ham radio, or like the sounds are straining. Thanks!

To help in diagnosing your problem, some more information is required. First, details about your OS/HW and sound card are important since you're saying it's a sound issue, Second, what route and activity are you running. If it's a free roam scenario, the what ENG are you using. This information is important to enable the Open Rails team to reproduce your problem, if we can.

Longion, it seems to happen only with Streamlines locos. I'm running 64 bit Vista with an Acer AspireX3200 with 4 gigs of ram. I'll do another run and see if this happens again. Thanks!

Just checked and it only happens with SLI locos.

So you have a Realtec integrated sound chip? Have you upgraded the sound card? What Streamlines loco? This detail is important to debug and narrow down the issue.

[lides]

I have not upgraded the sound card. The sound happens with locos from the SLI BN pack, BNSF/MRL SD70ACe set, and the locos from the Seligman Route.

Happend again with 3DTS Donner Pass stock. Doesn't seem to happen with MLT or 3DTrains equipment.

We will investigate the issue you have reported.

One question I don't see asked/answered. Does the same sound problem occur in MSTS? Perhaps something has happened to the installation or hardware.

Never happend in MSTS. It also slows down the game.

Running the V Scale Creations Ozark Northern doubled headed passenger run using the DLW equipment I get a white noise sound. I guess it is like the "ham radio" sound mentioned above. I got it with the onboard Realtec and a newly upgraded Soundblaster clone. It is when the locomotives are at speed. It happens both in 2 speaker and 5.1 speaker modes and with and without EAX.

I have no problems on the Ozark Northern with the single locos.

If you using the Realtec onboard buy a Soundblaster or a clone. The sound is so much better.

Edit: Doesn't do it in MSTS. I am using Win764.
