I run the FS98 with 200MMX and Stingray 128/3D card in 800x600x16 in 3D mode
and in 2D mode and have no sound issues at all with all scenery level as
detailed as can get. I get frame rates as high as 40+ and lowest is about 28
or so. I have the latest Stingray drivers v1.19 and also I run a Sound
blaster 16 PNP card with the newest drivers. No matter what scenery, plane,
panel works fine!
