I installed BVE a few days ago.. i had it last year but my pc was wiped,
it did it occaisionly on the 220 Voyager last time i had bve.
i only had the noise for a few secs at the start of the route yesterday and this morning

but it has started getting really bad and non-playable

This is a problem which happens with Realtek soundcards. If you search the web, you'll see that people encounter the static problems when playing other games too.

One of the methods was to reduce sound acceleration. It hasn't worked for me.

Another method was to install new drivers. I tried that. It worked for the first few minutes, but after that, no sound was emitted! My music files still could be played (can be recorded in Audacity), just that they couldn't get through the sound card! So I rolled back to the old driver.

You can try the above methods, some people had success but I still haven't.

I have a sample.

Occasionally, my computer just produces the static sounds (even when I'm not playing BVE). Strangely, the sound can be recorded by Audacity.

I need to restart the computer to get rid of it.

I am downloading a driver now. Would getting a new sound card be a solution? xD

Did the new driver fix it? If it doesn't, I suppose a new sound card (of another brand) would be the only solution.

PS. Did you try reducing the hardware acceleration as well?

Type dxdiag in Run, then go to the sound tab and reduce acceleration.

Not sure about the First Class Passenger, think it's something to do with the post counts.
