    I'm thinking about buying a buttkicker gamer 2 and I was just wondering ...

    If I have the default audio going to my VR headset, does that mean I can use the on-board (realtek) audio for SimVibe?

    Simvibe needs a dedicated soundcard, whatever it is (avoiding USB soundcard because not officially supported).
    So if you output the game sound through your VR headset (witch use the hdmi output if I'm not mistaken), you need to assign simvibe any other soundcard you may have in your computer, witch mean the on-board one if you don't have any other :)
