Darpa Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I am strongly interested in purchasing a G2 but one problem has me stumped. I currently use a Rift S with DCS... and I also have a Buttkicker attached to my cockpit. The Rift S has a 3.5mm jack input so I plug a 3.5mm cable into it with a splitter. I plug my headphones into one of the splitters and I plug my Buttkicker into the other. Presto... I have sound and haptics coming from one sound source which is the Rift S headset (simple and works wonderfully). However the G2 has no 3.5mm jack input and no way that I can see to get a separate audio signal. So if anyone knows how I would accomplish this with the G2 could you please let me know. Even if I had 2 separate sound sources (i.e. 2 sound cards, which I do not have) how can you tell Windows 10 to send sound from both of them at the same time. Not sure if you can even configure that in Windows? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Gruman Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 There are software solutions for this (Quick search on Google gave me the Freeware Voicemeeter). Basicly you duplicate your sound output and can route the duplicated sound via the Motherboard Audio. Try it out with your Rift Setup.

speed-of-heat Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 With WMR there is a switch to enable this, duplicating the sound to the “desktop” from the headset...

Darpa Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks for the responses... speed-of-heat - Given that I am not overly knowledgeable in this area mind if I just try and clarify what you saying. I am assuming you mean the switch is just in the WMR configuration software that comes with the product. Does that mean that if I duplicate the sound to the desktop from the headset that after plugging in the G2 normally that I could just plug the 3.5mm input jack from the ButtKicker to the 3.5mm sound connector on my computer and the sound generated from my 1 sound card will go to both the G2 and the ButtKicker? Gruman - I will also look into Voicemeter. Thanks to you both

Gruman Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I think the Rift S can do the same... check the Oculus Software. no need for any splitter ;) Intel I9 10900k @5.1GHz | MSI MEG Z490 Unify | Corsair Vengeance 64GB - 3600MHz | EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 VPC T-50 Base /w Viper & Hornet Grip | VPC Rotor TCS Pro w/ Hawk-60 Grip | TM TPR LG C2 42" | Reverb G2 | TIR 5 | PointCtrl | OpenKneeboard
