Awesome! Totally worth it, just make sure to configure it well.
Works awesome!!
I love sound, had to prank the boys at NASA. Who needs ears?
best purchase ever
Ох, довольно долго я провоевал с этой программой. SSC очень классная и в тоже время очень странно работающая штуковина. Но поделюсь своими наблюдениями и открытиями, дабы сберечь вам нервные клетки и время. Как выяснилось не достаточно просто удалить драйвер и саму программку, нужно ещё почистить реестр. После установки самой программы и драйвера нужно вызвать панель управления (win+r > control) далее зайти в настройки звука и выставить разрядность и частоту дискретизации со стороны воспроизведения и записи (spatial sound card) одно и тоже (у меня это: 24бит, 48000Гц). И вроде всё должно работать. Если каким-то чудом программа запустилась, а звука нет, то в настройках программы выставить источник звука. Если вы перезапустили свою машину и программа перестала запускаться, в этом случае идём по пути: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spatial Sound Card\DRIVER\x64\vacnatcp.exe" и запускаем эту штуковину. В ней можно перезапустить сам драйвер (driver parameters) тыкаем на Restart (просто restart без всяких аудио и т.д.) После панелька закроется и из стима вновь SSC снова начнёт запускаться.
SSC is a nice app, but beware - you cannot use this software without Steam running. Want this to run on startup of your PC? Out of luck. Want to play a non Steam game without Steam taking up resources in the background? Nope. On all the PCs I've used this software on, I also notice an audio output delay, no matter what the latency setting is. So, yes, it's cheap, and yes it works, but there are limitations to think about. That's why I don't bother with it normally even though I've had it for years.
By far one of the best most convincing virtual sound cards I've ever used and I think ever made it's way too underrated but that also makes sense since it's very temperamental. It is absolutely better than Dolby Atmos Headphones, DTS X and DTS X2.0, Boom, Razer, and the rest. I used it way back before it was ever on steam I think it used to be called "SAD" but I believe the tech was originally designed to emulate high-end professional sound studios and their environments Such as high-end motion picture productions facilities for mastering and emulation purposes. I believe the 'SSD' Spatial Sound Card actually displays its self as a 7.1 speaker arrangement so games like Destiny for example will actually see the individual channels as real separate 7.1 speakers giving each one the sound and signal it needs leaving no stereo to 7.1 guesswork or cheap frequencies splitting techniques to emulate "surround". If your content is 2.0 stereo you'll only hear the front speakers period, if it's 7.1 the rear and side line speakers will work and SSD then does the rest to position them based on 6 different unique environments which each environment changes drastically, how it sounds. New york for example feels punchy in the front "Tight city spaces" and has overall less reverberation while Shanghai feels lighter and airier and surrounds you more from all sides. Annoyingly there's really no real explanation or guidance on which Sound Environment you should use or their perceived differences. It's also important to understand for this Virtual Surround to work it needs to emulate a space that comes at the cost of Reverberation and a difference to the sound overall, So music still would be best having this off along with the cost of CPU power for low Latency. Sadly it is absolutely not all sunshine and rainbows, The app is also SUPER temperamental! Getting it to work at first was tricky and you do need a good CPU to run this at a low Latency but even then sometimes my system just says no and you get serious sound problems for no reason at all on a 5900X, it's the software is buggy than anything else! But Seriously worth £10 for sure!
I love listening and recording my music in Dolby Access. I have to have the Spatial sound card to be able to do this. Dolby sound makes such a world of difference in music. Thanks Steam.
I love it, just wish it would start when windows boots so I dont have to manually turn it on every time i turn my pc on
No issues so far, sounds great when playing games and listening to music with both my Open-Back Headphones and IEMs. My only real complaint is that I wish there was a way I can import EQ settings for headphones I own since I EQed them to Diffuse Field using Equalizer APO+Peace so the low end doesn't sound too boosted in certain games and multi-channel music. Other than that, it easily competes with HeSuvi and Atmos for Headphones. (More so Atmos, since it's also paid software.) I might just go and buy the Pro version and if it allows me to import EQ settings directly into the app and just have more options overall.
