Bass shaker interference
-
Does anyone use Andre’s App called simshaker wings with bass shakers?
I can’t fly without it anymore, it’s so immersive. Just one small problem: when there are multiple effects that causes the bass shaker to rumble, the two or more effects try to drive the speaker, causing a rattle noise. I’ve been speaking to Andre about the problem but so far nothing works (lowering the volume, turn on the compressor). I was wondering if there’s anyone here might have a workaround.

@spotdott I honestly don’t fly with all the effects on. I believe I turn off the Flaps rumble, engine rumble (AB rumble is activated) and for my JetPad the G effects is turned off but believe on for my shakers (Dayton Bass pucks, sometimes a ButtKicker but seems overkill with everything else). I might have one of the other effects off for the bass shakers to trade off IIRC, I can check later.
It is just a lot of vibration happening in a narrow range so it’s easy to saturate if you leave all the effects on in my opinion. You can help it by do the full 4 channel with the ASIO4ALL driver if you have a free sound card, I use my motherboard down one. This way you can send some effects to one part of your bass shakers, normal front or back ones for me. This is easy to do with the Bass Pucks because they are cheap. I have two in my floorboard where my heals rest while my toes are on the rudders, two in my center stick column when I’m not flying the Viper, and two around my HOTAS, one on the stick arm rest, one on a side board to my throttle. Even then though if you get in a flight regime with a lot of stuff going on, you are just going to have one being muddled buzz. Tell Andre I said Hi (Snake122/Matt from Indiana) if you speak to him again!

@Snake122 I use a usb amplifier with a built in sound card, don’t know how to install the ASIO4ALL driver on that… I’ll try to spread the sound effects onto different channels (pucks) and see if it helps.
