Switched from Xbox to PC

Today my 1st gaming PC arrived...knew it wouldnt exactly be plug n play but tonight have spent 3 hours setting up...setting up steam....downloading AC etc: Have three issues at the moment...

1) thrustmaster TX wheel is not recognised
2) can't start race from start button
3) can't play sound through monitor (not AC related)

Had a quick search on the forum and have seen potential fixes for 1) and 2) but not tried them yet, totally stumped by 3 though!

Had taken tomorrow off for decorating but have a feeling trouble shooting will come first...welcome to the wonderful world of PC gaming!

 

PC gaming takes a little more "care & feeding" but the rewards are much improved performance and the ability to add apps which extend the gaming experience and add extra content.

I will never go back to console gaming. If I want to play on my big screen TV I do so with my Nvidia Shield and my gaming PC.

 

For #3 go to the right side of the task bar, right click on the speaker symbol and select "Playback Devices", look for your monitor in there and by right clicking on the monitor listing, set is as standard playback device. Also you´re sure that your monitor cable is capable of transmitting sounds (Is it HDMI)?

 

Download the driver for your wheel from here:

welcome aboard!
what forced you to move from xbox to pc?

 

For #3 also you may have to disable all the other devices in the playback devices menu, thats how it works for me: monitor speakers only work if they are the only ones that enabled.

For a better audio experience, try Fonsecker´s sound mod

Thanks for the reply's all

Yes tried this, the HDMI cable plays sound through the same HDMI port on the monitor on my xbox, so I knows its PC related. I can get sound on it via my headphone and the xbox controller...have ready somewhere about reinstalling the graphics card driver but think I'll speak to the supplier (overclockers) before I try this

Thanks, saves me looking for it!

Quite a few reason really, but mainly because I love AC, not touched another game since I bought and felt it would be a better all round experience on PC, the other reason is opportunities for upgrading my driving rig....

 

@mike reynolds
dont connect your wheel to the pc before the install ask you to

 

Re the sound issues you might want to check the sample rate in whatever sound software you are using. I've encountered this problem a couple of times after AC or sound driver updates, 44.1 kHz works on my system but at the higher rates like 96 kHz I get no sound in AC. This might just be what worked for me but I thought I'd mention it in case it helps.

With the TX458 wheel, make sure you run the Configuration Wizard in the AC, Settings, Controls menu. I know AC has a preset for the TX wheel these days but that has never worked for me but starting with the Configuration Wizard always has. You'll also need to make sure you have Combine With Keyboard checkbox selected in the advanced tab to use your keyboard with the wheel. You'll then need to assign the keys you want to use in the Secondary Tab. Welcome to the world of PC faffing about, but once it is all working prepare to see AC in a very different and glorious light.

 

I'd argue helping to set up his game so he can play at all takes priority over any mods right now...

For 2) make sure your graphics driver is up to date, your video settings are correctly set to your monitor resolution and type (presumably single screen) and if nothing helps try verifying the game files through Steam first (might not have downloaded everything properly).

Also, don't forget to put your PC specifications in your forum signature, makes it easier to help.

 

Certain amount of luck involved with PCs.... my old PC worked perfectly straight out of the box whatever I was doing. My new one has been a pain in the neck and is needing a lot of cajoling

Maybe worth investing in some speakers rather than waste too much time getting your monitor speakers to work, probably sound better than built in speakers?

Anyway, welcome to the wonderful world of PC simracing! Lots of fun stuff to check out: Dirt Rally, rFactor, Raceroom, Automobilista, GTR2, GPL, Richard Burns Rally, Nascar Racing 2003 Season..... lots of options for expensive gear: triple screens or VR, button boxes, handbrakes, load cells etc etc.

The decorating can wait, I've been living in a half finished house for years

 

thanks for the advice guys (keep it coming!)

Sound fixed...1 down, two to go!

 

Welcome aboard, hopefully you get all your issues sorted soon so you can dive in! It will be very interesting to hear the opinion of what the transition is like going from AC on console to PC.

Also, once you get sorted and ready to start reaping the benefits of the PC - check this thread out for some great mod recommendations. Basically anything you see that gets recommended more than once is great quality and worth a look.

Getting closer! TX wheel sorted

Got beyond start button then PC crashed! Try again now.....

 

Have you checked you resolution settings (in AC)? Make sure its correct, sometimes it defaults to a non-resolution and won't load.

 

Or the refresh rate in the graphics.ini file under user docs..

What are your specs? nVidia DSR helps allot with AA Jaggies..

 

Nice to see so more people switching from xbox to pc. I did the same 2 months ago and the only thing i regret is i waited so long to make this decision.

 

Got to play!

Are you rinning at 4k? I'm not up to date with current GPUs, but I'm not sure a GTX1060 is up to 4K gaming. Try the resolution at 1080p, see what sort of framerate you get with that.
