    ahh it's this

    Someone gave me this answer on reddit: "
    A friend has this sound card and had the same problem.

    The problem was that the "Digital Output Only" feature of the SoundBlaster is enabled per default.

    To change that default setting; go in the Windows Mixer (Run "sndvol32") Under the File menu, click "Show Advanced Settings". Now under the Master volume control, there's a "Settings" button, click it. Uncheck the "Digital Output Only" checkbox, click OK and close the mixer.

    Hope this solves your problem if you don't already know about it and have tried it already."

    but i don't understand his instructions..what does he mean by "Windows Mixer" and if he means the volume mixer then how do i run that command he gave me..?

    Yes, I think he is talking about the volume mixer.
    But the instructions are for a win7 machine I think.
    As win10's mixer does not have a file menu.

    You may have to hunt a but, but the setting has to be in the sound card settings for the card somewhere.
    Take care,

    hey yobuddy, is there any thread or any site where people have posted their simvibe/gamevibe setup on their rigs? i want to know how people have attached their bass shakers to their sim exactly. If there isn't, where is the best place for me to make a post about it?

    Thanks broo. Btw do you use simvibe or gamevibe? And have you posted your bass shakers setup on your sim? I want to see the best way to mount it on my seat for chassis mode (to simulate 4 wheels)

    2 kickers under the pedals and 2 kickers behind or under the seat works well.
    Take care,

    I prefer simvibe, because the plugins are already ready, and it has many details. They can be changed, and the interface is very professional. BUT, it has two major flaws: you can not create a plugin for any game, in addition to supporting very few new games. And the price, paying $ 89 is too heavy to have just that luxury of 5 or 6 games. There goes from the person, how much is willing to spend and get results. I, in particular, do not give up either.

    How did you mount that bass shaker to the pedal btw? have you used a special kind of bass shaker mount..? Cause i want to mount mine under the pedals, but it doesn't fit the holes, so i have to mount it another way
