This seems like a pretty good resource. I found the answer I needed in here - of course, I haven't applied it yet since I am at work. But it makes sense what they are saying (the mixer levels in my computer aren't ticked right or adjusted correctly, that's why the samples are silent).

mhmm nice. I remember going there a while ago, but there wasn't much activity :(, still a good ressource though because it appears Codemaster staff still gives help and support on those games.
yes - the post I found that related to my question was from 2002 :blink:
