Has anyone noticed the sound mixing levels are different than in 1.05 ? The changes in volume between view changes seems to be more extreme, I am using living room since 1.05.

I'd like to comment on the whole GT6 is crashing/freezing all the time discussion.
I have a 4 year old Slim PS3, that's never been dusted (even though the environment here is pretty dusty - I'm one hell of a lazy cleaner). I am not having ANY issue with GT6 whatsoever, apart from the odd connection mishap online. The game runs pretty smoothly too - Bathurst replays are about the only time I have serious frame drops.
From a software perspective, it simply CANNOT be true that the exact same software behaves differently on identical machines.
There's only 2 real reasons I can think of that cause these issues.
- There is some obscure setting in the XMB that affects the game in a severe way, somehow
- The cell processor is known for having a faulty core on a not-so-small percentage of consoles. It does have a backup in place for this very reason, but it could still have a severe impact on performance.
I think the latter is the most likely; it is also something you cannot check without professional equipment.

Still using small theatre. Maybe it's time to change.
I've noticed a bit more exhaust noise in the cockpit cam... it's just me?

Not sure about the exhaust, but the hood cam is very loud on some cars compared to chase or bumper cam.

Yes the sounds are much louder by default from view to view. That quasi hood/roof view is by far the loudest, in car the sound is nearly identical to the nose cam(weird) also depends on engine placement and chase cam is a little less noisy compared to the roof/hood cam. Everything is louder and seems to have low end grumble or something added for upshifts. Now id they can get around to returning the S7 and a few other cars to their older GT5 original engine and exhaust notes we'll be good. This seems like a blanket tweak and the size of the update is rather small so I'm guessing it was some flags for things downloaded prior. Also the pitch of the sounds have been lowered a bit, the x Junior made it easy to notice this as that car was a wailing banshee when it arrived, still wails just not as pitchy.
I haven't had any crashes with the game related to simply playing and I don't have that pixelated smoke issue people have been talking about either. My settings are 1080p, audio is set to multi ouput since I use a headset and I use only LCPCM 5.1 41k and 48k. In game my settings for video is sharpen and audio is 5.1 LCPCM 48kHz at small theater setting.
I am also on a 3rd gen fat PS3 CECHP01 with it's original 160GB 5200 deskstar drive. Just hopped into my Mustang V8 GT and headed to Nurburgring F1 did some burnouts and no pixelalted smoke at all.
Also on another note, is it me or did my FFB settings change or the game is a bit more refined especially in race cars they all have a very heavy FFB feel you notice a bit more and when your wheels leave the ground for any reason you feel that so quickly. I think the suspension calculations got a ramping up, they feel more alive than I remembered from the day before the update, could just be me. I'll check the settings to be certain.

Noticed this today with the FTO Super Touring Car. Loud in hood and chase cams, quiet in bumper and cockpit.
Using small theatre.

I would wish that on racing cars, cockpit view should be loud, just a bit lower than hood
I've been racing and tuning my SaReNi United / Reiter Engineering Camaro GT3 replica ( using the road car and touring car version ) from before update - 1.05 to 1.06, I noticed immediately that cockpit and bumper gets quieter, and hood gets louder

At the moment I'm building mid-size to full size cars, from 435pp to 568pp stock and then the tune stepped up or parts added or switched around to get the best performance for a given class, or pp group.
If I had a glitch @BrandonW77, I had a glitch. I've ran in tuning-prohibited, and I'm very aware that you can only adjust the brakes and power limiter before hand.

OK, I'm going to expose my ignorance here: what is "step tuning"?

I think it means there's a cafe added on to the pit area, so we can grab a bite while our tires cool off.

It seems to be not adding every single performance part to a car then butchering it with the power limiter.

But don't forget the steps though. But how many steps are there, how big are the steps and will I be exhausted after reaching the last step? I don't have as much energy these days.
Is step tuning an aerobic workout while tuning your car? Do I need to buy a stepping excerise machine? Or is it a genre of music, like dubstep, or 2-step? Should I be playing dubstep while tuning my cars?

@BrandonW77, reinstall after updates is good choice to get rid of most crashes, also seems better on slim than on fatty (IMO).
On fatty after updates it just started to go worse, but reinstall and it solves most problems, sound problems, pitstop menu bug solved by reinstalling.
Those were on fatty, slim handles better all situations.
@Ridox2JZGTE, maybe some changes on sound mixing, can't be 100% sure, also some changes on gravity noticed, most people saying that as part of physics change, feels like just different gravity.

Yes, export your valuable replays and photos and do reinstall. Delete game data, nothing else, reinstall(re-download) and input your codes again.
Worth of testing, my first reinstall was "test" with successful result.

Mid size class 400 to 465pp, full size class 562 to 600pp.
I've already answered you question.
If you got to take the time to make a mem as they're called or anyone, then you got trouble. LOL OH MY GOSH, starting to hurt. LOL.
