Buttkicker Gamer 2, was working fine in the past. Haven't used in a few months. Now, any game (ACC, AC, AMS2), all effects work fine for a few minutes. Then, they stop and pulse every few seconds. At first, I thought it might have to do with the latest update. I downgraded but still have the same issue. I've disabled all unnecessary plugins.
Hi ! This looks like the amplifier is failing. Have you tried the output with headphones to ensure that signal is still generated ? It will help you to diagnose if the amplifier or if the signal is the issue.
Thanks for the reply. I will try that and let you know the results.
I plugged in a speaker to the amp and ran with SimHub for about 20min. There was always constant sound from the speaker. Before, it would stop about 5min or so (the shaking, as I didn't have a speaker connected to hear it). Then, I reconnected the Buttkicker and ran for another 20min with no issues this time.
The only thing that I changed was that I reduced the sound card volume to 50% (before it was 100%). What is the recommended sound volume for the sound card? I had the amp volume at 100% both times. I felt the amp and it was not warm at all.
Maybe the sound card volume was the issue? Anyways, it appears to be working for now. Thanks again for your help.
