    It should not matter to SimTools what brand of sound card you use, as long as it is recognised by Windows.

    @Pit, isn't that sound card stereo (virtual 7.1)?
    I believe we would want one with front and rear outputs so we can get a true 4channel output?

    sure, its only a stereo usb sound card, but if you use 2 of them you have four channels. Of course this makes less sense, if you want to power up 4 bass shakers you should by a 5.1 sound card at minimum. I use my usb sound card only for dedicated buttkickers only (pedals, seat) quasi as a single channel output.

    Generally said you can use every (usb) sound car as long its compatible with windows 7 up to 10. The limit is the vibe software: it has to support 4 channels at minimum (eg. for the chassis or four driving wheels) and other additional gadgets in a car like the steering wheel or the pedals (Specs of SimVibe), Vibe (SimTools) will offer similar specs even if not more options than SimVibe.

    It depends on what you want to get. If you use one buttkicker only then one (additional) stereo sound card is enough. Four buttkickers need a 5.1 sound card etc...

    Oh yes sure, I thought it was some kind of rule :p
    I have a pair of big Buttkickers LFE and a Europower 2500Watts stereo amp to power them...it will be enough for me...:D
    I also have a mounting plate that acts as a vibration amplifier that works great,

    The excitement is killing me. And probably the xsimulator website too as I hold my breath and refresh over and over again :)

    To all our American friends I wish you happy thanks giving weekend as I give thanks for the imminent release of simtools 2.0!!!
