Beeping at high RPM

[garyfluke]

I have been using Assetto Corsa for about two weeks and all of a sudden there is a beeping noise at high engine rpm’s. The beeping comes on softly when approaching engine red line and becomes much louder at redline. It happens with all cars and I have no 3rd party car or app software installed. I am using a Fanatec DD1 wheel, V3 pedals and ClubSport Shifter SQ V 1.5. It doesn’t matter whether using paddles or H-pattern shifter. I am using the Sim Racing Studio interface with my DOF Reality P6 sim rig. This problem came up on this Forum once before but a solution was never offered. Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this noise?

Start turning off stuff. You can reduce volume of AC to zero and check if the beeping still happens. Then try to nuke some of the fanatec or SRS software.

Note, there are no in game effects like that that would happen on >all cars< but few cars have some sound artifacts at the end of rev range. I think a car that has limiter slider in setup would be best to check on.

Lastly, very rarely a hardware induced "beep" can blend in. Like capacitors or motor vibration. So there might be something funny happening with the rig.

CAVEAT: the below may be pure bovine fecal matter as I haven't played AC in a couple of years and am working off of memory. I've also got a number of other racing sims and for me at least - they're easy to mix up.

I'm not sure since it's been a while since I played AC but I believe that beeping is a warning that you're over revving your engine and are about to wipe it out.

That has happened to me a couple of times when going around a sharp turn on the Monza track where I down shifted too quickly and red lined the c.rap out of my engine and IRL terms, blew it up.

IIRC there are some options in the damage section you can set that either turn that on or off.

You haven't by chance downloaded the DDM RX7?

It may not be a beep as such, more a whining can it be the tranmission?
i like that effect to an extent, thionk its implemented in one of the settings...

or else see this as a stupid comment and ignore me at any cost ;*)

[garyfluke]

That you all for your replies, I really appreciate the help. You have given me some things to check out. I haven't downloaded DDM RX7, unless it somehow got on by accident, but I can't imagine how that could happen.

No more beeping! I went with ling.speed's idea first. By zeroing the Assetto Corsa Master Volume I found out that wasn't the problem as there was still the beeping. Then with the SRS turned off the beeping stopped. I soon found the switch for that in Settings/Apps. Thanks again everyone!

Nice, have a silent night.
SRS, is that in the soundcards settings you mean?

Sim Racing Studio, its a platform supporting many software/hardware addons, buttkickers, motion rigs etc.

Yeah the DDM RX7 has this.
