Ship sound option was turned off. But the throttle sound is still there when accelerating, with bad statics. Setting low 16 bit sound quality helps, but sound is let's say less good. I have the latest and \"almost\" greatest X-Fi Fatality, but only DirectSound is available on D3 console af...

Any idea?
