Audio Woes

[brendo613]

I'm really liking this game, but the audio problems are getting to me. Racing by myself sounds fine, and so does racing with one other driver. Total of 3 or more results in my car's engine coming through choppily. Also, when my car is not sounding clear, my tires still squeal fine; it's only the engine sound that's affected.

I tried modifying the /etc/openalrc file in many ways, and found no difference even when I replaced the first line - (define devices '(6tgyu)) - with gibberish, so maybe that's not helping anything. Any help?
