BillC Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Laptop Sound" 03-02-03, 07:20z  Hi all.. I've had a Sony GR215 for some time, and although I never bought it for FS, I have tried FS2002 on it. The frame rate leaves a lot to be desired, but 12 to the occasional 20 fps is flyable, just - but when I switch on the sound, I get 1-2 fps, occasionally 3:-( I've tried the mod that Alan reminded me of (thanks Alan)... (SOUND) <-- Square brackets, of course Channels=1 SamplesPerSec=22050 but it does not appear to make any difference. I've also tried SamplesPerSec=11025. I'm currently having to rely on this machine a lot, due to commitments away from home, so I'd like to see if I can improve on those fps with audio. The 15 inch screen does give a superb display, but it would be nice to have some sound <g> Does anyone have any ideas I can try ? Here's some specs.. ---------------------------------------------- Sony PCG-GR215MP Pentium III Mobile CPU 1000MHz 256Mb RAM Display Adapter ATI Mobility Radeon (On PCI bus 1) Details: ASIC Type: M6 ASIC ID: 4c59 Bus type: AGP 1X, AGP 2X, AGP 4X BIOS ver: 005.000.006.002 BIOS Date: 2001/08/29 Memory size: 16.0 M Memory Type: DDR SGRAM / SDRAM Driver file: ati2dvag.dll Release ver: 7.59.01-010828m-1175E-Sony Sound Card: SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio Manufacturer Analog Devices Inc Location PCI Bus 0, Device 31, function 5 I've also changed the paging file for Drive C: from 384 to 500Mb. No change. ------------------------------------------------------------ Having had absolutely no experience with these machines, is it possible that a sound chip can take so much processing power from the CPU ? If so, is there a way around it, say, for a minimum sound quality for FS2002 ? (I'm not really expecting high quality audio, of course, still having memories of FS1 and FS3 sound quality <g> Thanks...
