    @Mu-KwangKim
    I played with the idea, but the extra speakers have to much bleed trough.
    In a quad setup, i can isolate the sound to a single speaker, but in a 5.1 or 7.1 the isolation to a single speaker didn't work as well.

    Keep in mind thou that you can use 2 sound cards and therefor have up to 8 channels.
    4 for the 3D stuff and 4 for individual dof sounds.

    Take care,

    Single Sound Card to the game sound with only two Front Speakers.

    And apply the Rear channel used GameVibe.

    ...

    Which causes noise in the Front Speaker.

    so, added sub sound card.

    Sub Sound card used GameVibe is Good.

    ...

    Do I need to plug two added sound cards to use 8 channels?

    Yes, you need 2x sound cards for 8 channels.
    4 per card.

    Hi.
    Since launching Game Vibe I have not been able to make it work.
    I uninstalled everything, erased all the files and did a clean installation.

    1. Configure the IP of Game Vibe and Game Manager and enable Game Vibe in Game Manager. I do not know if the IP is correct. 00.jpg

    2. In Sound Card Settings I chose the output and when I click on Volume Balance I hear the sound normally. 01.jpg

    3. In the Tunning Center there are no max and min values and in the game vibe there are no sonos and no option to change the volume. Only GameVibe1, 2, 3, .. 02.jpg and 03.jpg

    4. Virtual Axis working normally, but game vibe does not work in the game. 04.jpg

    Can anyone help me with some step by step?
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Tank You.

    Are you using a GameVibe supported plugin?
    What version of the plugin are you using, got a link?

    No matter which plugin you use, you'll need to configure your Hi / Low values for the game.
    Or at least configure one input so you get some vibrations.

    it works now, I do not have windows anymore;)

    But the volume does not seem to work
    did you see this problem?

    I am between 20 and 15 hz on the ButtKicker LFE
    do you have settings values to share with the ButtKicker LFE?
    the volume does not work in Vibe creator
    input 0 or 100% no volume action.

    there is no volume control, it's on / off
    0 = 0, 1 is at max as 100%

    thank you ;)

    Is there any possibility of enabling the gamevibe effect through the actuators ? There would be a risk of damaging/overheating some actuators and there is no uniformity between DIY builds, but it would be fantastic to have gamevibe without amplifiers and bass shakers.

    Hi ,
    I have difficulties to have a good result on effects except chassis.
    would it be possible to have a reference expert setting on Assetto Corsa?
    I Have a Buttkicker LFE

    I have a request for an addon: would it be possible to have in addition the basic effect in Game Vibe: Heave, Roll, Pich, Surge and Sway?
    Thanks :)

    Ah ok ! :)

    Chassis uses the shock positions to make bumps and vibes. (and can be 3D since it has all 4 shock positions.
    Road Details uses heave to make bumps and vibes and is only 2D.
    For Road Detail I like to set a big Hi value.
    That way its more of a road noise effect while the chassis covers the bumps etc.

    Take a look at the second post here on how to tune each Vibe.

    On Assetto Corsa, for road details, I have to set the value Hi to 5 otherwise the feelings are not very sensitive.
    it seems different from other effects.
    the sensations are much more discreet.

    I tried to have a good feeling on the tires as on the FFB of my steering wheel direct drive.
    But I do not feel the loss of grip, skids, braking ....
    I have the feelings in the steering wheel, but I can not have them on the simu with GameVibe
    is it possible to have it or is it FFB effect?
    in this case is it possible to put these effects in GameVibe?

    Lower the Hi value to get more of a bump effect from heave, higher it to get a more background effect.
    I'm not sure how heave alone would do all you want it to buddy.

    yes it's like that for the other effects, but for road effect it looks very different on Assetto Corsa.
    could another person test and give his opinion?
