I installed SPMBT on my laptop and I noticed that the sound problem was not as bad and it played better, still there was some sound problems, but it generally played better, now my question is, Did the play testers use more laptops or did they use home PC's. I know that my sound card in my laptop isn't the best, but you would think that a SB creative card would have no problem.

Are you saying that Sound Blaster sound cards have problems running the game?

I'm planning to acquire a laptop soon, and the model I like it's equipped with a 16-Bit Sound Blaster Pro Compatible sound card.

I've been playing the game on my sister's laptop (with Conexant MC Audio sound card) for a week and it runs like a charm, without a single sound (or any) problem.

So, does anyone knows if there's a problem with 16 bit SB Pro compatible sound cards playing multiple mp3?

Don, was there any problem with SB sound cards during playtesting?

No, none. I use a SB card.

ok, then I don't know what KevinRanger95 was talking about.

I guess the laptop with a "16-Bit Sound Blaster Pro Compatible" sound card I want is ok then.

What model are you using?

" Creative SB Live! "

It's about 5 years old or so

Unless you get yourself a SB Live! or SB/Creative PCI card. Those seem to have some trouble with WinSPMBT (or more precisely, playing different mp3 sounds at once).

I'm using a no-name pci card with Crystal CMI8738/C3DX chipset and driver from 16.07.2002 (newest available!), and everything is fine.

Excelent, I shouldn�t have any issue then. I just keep guessing what Arralen was talking about?

It would appear that the issue is related to combinations of factors and not always just one thing A + B may cause trouble if you also have C but A B and D work just fine. All I know is, I have a SB Live! card and I hear all the sounds just fine.
