Jiver,
I've now a "ASUS Xonar D2 Audio Device" sound card. Please, could you suggest the best settings to suit your Total Sound Mod? I'm also using a Plantronics 380 headphones set.
Thanks for any advice,
GB
P.S.: I tried to apply your instruction that comes with this mod, but, firstly, I can't find many of its parts on my sound card control panel and secondly, after having set what I could (that's to say GAME mode and GX, but without being able to find how to set "EAX Effects Amount" slider to 0.0 dB), during simulation I hear an excessive amount of environmental sounds, crackling noises in external view on ground and overall a nagging feeling to be overwhelmed by sounds.
P.P.S.: I think I found the culprit - Dolby Digital enabled (it comes by default clicking on "Game" button). When disabled, all went better but still those crackling noises in external views on (or close to) the ground. Then I set "SoundFlags.forceEAX1=1" in conf.ini and this got rid of that, but now player's engine in internal view sounds faint, like a fridge compressor.
