So the wifey got me a Buttkicker for Xmas. Is there any preferences I should use to maximise it's impact? Note, I'll be using it for GTS and GT7 soley at this stage.
From memory, you won't have any settings to play with when connecting it to a console (besides the dials on the amp). On PC, there is a separate program you can choose to purchase and install that generates low-end sounds based on game API data rather than relying on in-game low-end audio. https://pagnianimports.com.au/blogs/news/simhub-guide-buttkicker-setup
Yeah the only thing I've got to play with is the volume and high / low cutoff I've learnt that I need to turn the music off to maximise the car feeling. Maybe I just need to crank the volume.. I don't get a huge rumble feeling, maybe I over estimated it's impact...
If a game doesn't push out much in the way of bass/subwoofer frequencies then you won't feel a great deal - it's supposed to be subtle. Don't crank the volume on the amp too much, they can overheat and die.
Its game dependent mate. I have one, but rarely use it as i have to bypass my Mic to get it to work, so in a room group chat i cant use it. When i do use it though in PC2, it works really well, feel all the bumps in the road, ripple strips and even when the car is starting to slide. I assume the PS5 will have more ports to plug things into so hopefully when i get around to it i can use it all the time.
Sadly the exact opposite on the PS5. There is no dedicated optical audio out, only HDMI. I'm used to having car sound / music through the TV and Chat room audio through the headset. I now need to have it all go through the headset, minus music...
yep, this might help explain things for people like me ! https://www.playstation.com/en-au/support/hardware/ps5-usb-ports-guide/
If i was to buy a buttkicker how dose one hook it up to the PS5 since it dose not have an optical out.
Atm, I have it connected via the headphone jack on the controller, via the supplied daisy chained cable.
