If you want to split the sound between workplaces, you'll need to dedicate one soundcard per workplace. If you're sharing the same GPU, it's possible you'll be sharing the same soundcard as well. Doing so means both of those workplaces will share the same graphics card when playing games. 2 monitors and drag them to separate workplaces. You can also give one GPU to multiple workplaces. My setup has multiple GPUs, so each workplace is given a single monitor on each GPU. You can assign multiple monitors to one or only one each like I have in these screenshots. For each plugged-in and enabled monitor, it will allow you to assign it to a specific workplace. In terms of monitors, they're divided based on graphics cards. The same works for microphones and speakers, but that's a bit tricker. If you don't know which device is which, move the mouse or tap the keyboard, and it will show up with a blue highlight around it: Then you can go to the Workplaces tab to drag and drop devices: I've only tried loading Aster at boot, and it works well that way.įirst, you need to enable multiple workplaces in Aster: Manually by opening Aster and clicking the "Run Aster workplaces" button. When you start your computer (my preferred configuration). The first press turns the monitors on, the second one shuts down the PC.ĭepending on your needs, you could have Aster start : This happens if some of the monitors have gone into power save. When shutting down using the power button on your PC, you sometimes have to press it twice. This allows Steam to install the redistributable files in the correct locations. Run games at least once when not sandboxed.
It saves on disk space and makes everything work as you expect. Install Steam games outside of the sandbox. Without it, Steam will close when opening on a different user's computer. Steam runs at the system level in Windows, so you need Sandboxie to run more than one copy of it ( see below for more on Sandboxie). If you want to know why you need Sandboxie, see below.
I use it myself to run a single gaming machine that allows my son to play solo during the day, and my friends to use for playing LAN gaming in the evening. It allows multiple users to be logged in at the same time in a single Windows install, but each user can be given its own monitor, GPU, mouse, keyboard, speakers, microphone, network card, etc.Īside from Aster's UI looking pretty awful today, it's a really slick piece of software that has a ton of uses. Think of this like Linus's 2-gamers 1-GPU videos, but with out virtual machines.Īs far as I know, Aster uses an older technology in Windows called Multipoint. Aster is an amazing piece of software which lets you create Workplaces, a way to split up devices, monitors, and even GPUs to different Windows users all on the same PC.
