Sorry, I meant to post this web page:
http://www.a3d.com/html/download/patches/

But I don't know if this is the patch your are looking for.  Valve has stated that
they are aware of the sound problem with the weapons, and are working on it.  They
even thanked everyone for emailing them, and keeping them posted about the
problems.  This "quote" from Valve is on one of the Half Life fan web sites I
perused yesterday.  But, aside from that, I have no problems with HL.  I've
enjoyed tweaking the graphics using the "3dfx.cfg" file that you can create.  It's
made a huge difference in the visual quality of the game.

I've been using a TB Montego I, but today I'll install the MX-300 and see how it
runs.  I'm hoping the MX card can improve the simultaneous A3D sounds in both HL
and Unreal and Klingon Honor Guard.  KHG really takes a hit in performance when
A3D is enabled, at least on the Montego I.  I hope the new Vortex chip on the
MX300 can improve that performance a little.

Gary.
