Anyone looking for a soundboard to use in-game?

Go to steam store and look up Soundpad and it's only $5 in store. Trust me it's worth it and makes things so much simpler for you. Also they only take MP3 files only by the way. You can play any sound and music through your microphone / headset with ease that has perfect quality.

Trust me you will thank me later and to those few who don't like soundboards then please move on thanks. ^_^

I just purchased Soundpad recently and it's really an awesome tool to use! I do have a question however. Are you currently able to use hotkeys/ some other command with it while controlling your avatar in game? I currently just use a mouse and keyboard. It works perfectly through discord and recordings via Nvidia but no dice for vrchat unless I alt-tab out and then play the audio.

or you can get a soundboard called DC+SB for free.

Yeah but this is more simpler and quicker to use then have to download all that stuff. Soundpad takes less the 30 seconds to down load and very easy to use my friend.

same with dc+sb plus it's free

If you had an option of a free client that works perfectly over a client that is $5 what would you pick?

I know how you feel and I get it but this costantly gets frequent updates and has wonderful support if something went wrong. But hey what ever floats your boat my dude. Plus takes less time to download if anything.

Just use Soundpad.

It's easy, cheap, works for anything to Voice Chats/Games with no hassle.

The Developers are quite active too, also created my very first guide for it.

It works for VR as well with anything you have with an Audio/Microphone.

How I use it is simple, I have to Launch soundpad first and then run VRChat. (Soundpad has a VR Display thing too, which is weird. However running it on Desktop, then VRChat in VR is fine) To play it, I just use the SteamVR Desktop viewer and play my Audio from there without hotkeys or taking my headset off.

Sound pad will not work in steam VR. You can't even open it without it shutting the application you are trying to use. If you open it in windows and then launch steam vr, nobody can hear the sounds. Soundpad is worthless.

It does indeed work for VR as I have 150+ hours with it and even made a guide for it. It's not worthless, it's just not intended for VR usage but it still works with the In-game Desktop VR overlay. Also to include it needs to be ran first in Desktop before you run anything in VR otherwise it'll close on you. As for nobody hearing sounds, that's a user configuration problem, not the application.

Soundpad is indeed possible to run decently in VRChat or other VR games for that matter. Personally I use OVR Toolkit with a bridge app developed for using Soundpad with a separate virtual keypad. It can take some time manually editing the buttons for a sound, but it can work.

Does soundpad really work that well in VRchat? I kinda feel you'll be scrambling to click the right thing with such a small list type menu. Can Soundpad run an actual button board?

Yeah it works with any game. Just upload the sound to SoundPad and set the keybing and when your ingame it will play through the mic it isn't hard.
