Hi guys!
I got a 5.1 card with SSF only the Rear (2 exciters and 1 shaker). It works in VPX, no problem there.
I got no toys and I wanted only SSF for Pinball FX. Doflinx is working here but I hear only the sounds in bottom half part of the playfield. I'm thinking that is a problem I don't have my sound system in 7.1. Any workaround for a 5.1 sound?

 

Thanks in advance!

Chey

Have you reviewed this? https://doflinx.gith...ted/11_SSF.html

 

Speaker assignments for the various surround setups are described here https://doflinx.gith...akersfile1filex

 

 If you are not getting some sounds for Pinball FX based on your surround setup and speaker connections, then you may need to edit the speaker assignment in the LOAD_SOUND= lines in ALL_Pre.FX

Thanks DDH69!

Editing ALL_Pre.FX was the trick. I changed SIDE with REAR in the file and now I got the SSF sounds on the upper table - I can hear the bumpers on the top in SSF.

I wish there were more sounds for SSF in Pinball FX, for the upper table I find (change) only for Bumpers and DropTarget sounds.
