    Hello,

    as I already mentioned via email, we use 4 ButtKicker Mini LFE to enhance the simulator experience, however
    we have an issue with Simvibe together with Assetto Corsa Pro.

    When running tests it works without a problem, outputs evertyhing properly trough to the buttkickers (unles we select the "sqr" signal ... this one for whatever reason does not go trough).

    When AC PRO is running we can see "live" data in the tuning center OK, however there is no sound
    coming to the buttkickers.

    Is it possible that gameVibe always puts out "sqr" sound, altough with the Vibe Create we have
    set it up to use "sin" in all vibes ... ?

    For example the simhub software works OK, but we would like to use only one software since we use simtools for motion already ...

    I have latest version of simtools and gameVibe installed.

    Thank you guys for your support!

    What do your Ho/Low values look like in the tuning center for AC?

    Hi all

    I had been enjoying my Game Vibe/buttkicker for about a week and now for some reason it is not working anymore. I can hardly detect any output from game vibe sound card when running the game. I have gone into game vibe sound testing and verified that they all worked well. As I turned on the sound test I can feel/hear the buttkicker working forcefully. however when I go and run the game then I can barely detect any vibration. If I glue my ear to the seat then I can hear some weak rumbling but it hard to feel anything. I tried the tuning center several times but I am still not able to get it to work.

    My sound card is a USB and this is the one I configured to work with game vibe. As you can see from the picture it shows pretty much zero output level. In the picture my internal sound card is used for outputing the game sound onto the samsung tv. that works without issue and shows a strong output level.

    could someone help me out?

    thanks

    @stargazer,
    Are you running the current version of all apps buddy?
    What does your sound card setup look like?

    May I see you profile Editor page please.
    Everything else looks ok so far I think.

    Also, what happens if you plugin the sound card into a different usb port?

    I changed the sound card to another usb port and I still had no vibration from the buttkicker.

    The picture show the profile editor for the game.

    I also made a video to show that the buttkicker is working during audio output testing, but during the game it just has no vibration at all.

    For the collision and road detail it looks like your Hi values are lower than your Low values?
    (This would cause no sound at all I believe.)

    I would suggest removing GameVibe all together (say yes to remove old files and settings, and reinstall.
    It would be the fastest way to reset GameVibe and get it working again I think.
    Take care,

    hi @yobuddy
    I uninstalled and reinstalled game vibe. It still did not work. as you can see from the windows setting and status, there is no output detected on the usb sound card which is the one connected to game vibe. The second picture show the hi low values in the game vibe tuning.

    @stargazer,
    Can you swap the sound cards, use the usb for game sound and the built in one for GameVibe.
    I want to see if the problem follows to the new card.

    Also, if you would please, zip up and send this folder to me so I can take a closer look as to what may be wrong.
    %localappdata%\GameVibe

    Out of curiosity, have you tried another game by chance?

    hi @yobuddy. I swapped the sound card from USB to internal realtek sound card and the same problem: no vibration. I was able to do the audio test on sound card testing and see that the buttkicker vibrated well. but during the game there is just no vibration. It happened on other game like AC as well.
