No haptic when watching a movie coded by D-BOX 

Here are some possible reasons why your haptic device might not be working when watching a movie coded by D-BOX:

  • In the HaptiSync app or the HaptiSync Center:
    • Make sure that your haptic device is detected.
    • Ensure you have selected D-BOX Coded Video mode.
    • Confirm that the movie you are watching is coded by D-BOX and that the haptic library content has been updated.
    • Verify that the HaptiSync app/HaptiSync Center is capturing audio from the correct audio device (Active Audio Source).
    • Validate that the system recognizes the movie. Sometimes it might take a few seconds after the movie starts for the recognition to occur.  To accelerate the recognition, you can also activate the Fast Sync option in the D-BOX content library (mobile app only).
    • Ensure that you have an active HaptiSync subscription and that you are logged into the HaptiSync app/HaptiSync Center.
    • Check that the haptic feedback is not muted.

      • 200: Error checking for update (internet connection issue or other).  You might also be behind a firewall preventing access to D-BOX servers
      • 201: Error connecting with D-BOX Connect
      • 300: Error while downloading
      • 301: Server content not ready (this should be temporary, if not, please contact support)

    What is the purpose of the Fast Sync function?

    The Fast Sync function is a feature available in the mobile version of the HaptiSync app. It allows you to preload the haptic code of the movie you are about to watch, which helps to speed up the recognition of the content.

    Please note that this feature is not available in the Windows version of the app.
