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 after ...

D3 have a very annoying static ship sound. Afterburner also have lot of statics. Disabling ship sound and setting low sound quality helps, but low sound quality not as good as high quality sound.

Any idea?
