SimXperience SimVibeA pioneer in converting sim telemetry to bass shaker audio,that is now also available from (free) SimHub as well as SRS' ShakeKit. SimXperience has since integrated SimVibe with Sim Commander 4, which also drives their AccuForce direct drive steering wheel (acquired). SimXperience warns that multiple identical sound adapters can be problematic. Both Aurora motherboard and Samsung Odyssey+ sound identify as Realtek: Intel and NVIDIA audio are presumably about HDMI. Despite nomenclature, Windows 10 Sound Blaster X-Fi support appears to be only stereo. Realtek motherboard audio is enabled only after plugging into 1/8 phone jacks. Realtek USB2.0 device disappears when Odyssey+ HMD sleeps, reportedly confusing SimVibe/Sim Commander 4 (SC4), which evidently keys off sequence in list of available devices. Since Assetto Corsa already loses access to G29 and TH8A unless launched after Steam and Content Manager, inserting SC4 launch may also be problematic.  "You have to select the audio-source in SC4 while the Odyssey is running." Then launch SC4 after SteamVR and activate the profile last, so don't launch games with SC4. I would prefer a fix, but once you got used to it, it's not a game-breaker, because in window-mode you can launch SC4 while the game is loading. If the headset falls to sleep mode, the output in SC4 is dead and you need to re-launch it the next time. Sim Commander 4 Guide IMO, hard to use, if "use" means anything other than launching a default or something useful [but painfully] configured and debugged.. Documentation and software have both evolved since I tried it. At least on my Windows 10 64-bit Home PC, pop-up windows essential to Sim Commander 4 installation were hidden beneath the main setup window, resulting in no progress until raised from the taskbar. Sim Commander license code displayed online was truncated; fortunately, gif was fully visible after download (to USB1TB/Sim). After initial setup, Sim Commander splash window plays obnoxious drum solo, which can be stifled by clearing Background Music in Control Center. Rerunning Auto Search found Assetto Corsa, but not games in E:\my\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common.. which were added manually, but still do not show up on SC4 splash screen. Configuring SC4 launch by Content Manager was doomed; no Output Mixer and seemingly no ShakeSeat output. This was cured by adding a fresh Sim Commander profile (using big + at bottom of main screen) and selecting Assetto Corsa, then duplicating and changing game to Content Manager. After that, even the original Content Manager profile has an Output Mixer... SimVibe Tuning guide SimVibe chassis appears to support neither traction loss nor ABS, but has estimated wheel lockup (mono), oversteer and "custom simvibe effect" Good news: switching from single screen to openvr in Content Manager launched from SC4 did not lose SimVib, but did lose remapped mouse buttons until logging out and back in, then launching CM from steam, THEN launching (really, just attaching) CM/AC from SC4, at which point SimVib and mouse buttons both worked. Somehow overnight, SC4 lost all profiles except Forza 7 and AC from scratch..? SC4 still launches a useless black abomination that is presumably its so-called Dashboard After fiddling with Sim Commander 4 SimVibe
