Can you mute the background sound in Quest Link?
tetoculus Excellent! that worked (needed to upgrade to Win11 first...).
MetaStoreHelp It is not noise, it is supposed to be background "music" that cannot be turned off. So, it is basically a badly designed feature - it is nice for first 15seconds, but then you would like to turn it off - and there is no settings to do that... And it is in Link Dashboard (homescreen when you are connected to a PC)
Hey everyone. I spoke again with the engineering team about this feature. The best option that they recommend is to make posts on the Ideas Page of the forums about this feature. If enough people make posts about this feature, it could get enough developers to look at this idea, which can have the possibility of being implemented for future updates. Other posts from the Ideas Page have later been used for past updates, so this could do the same.
I found a solution that worked with my setup: Meta Quest Pro connected via PCVR link cable.
Adjust the "Dash" volume slider in your windows sound mixer
- While in the PCVR "home" environment (pronounced: the void) where the ambient music loops, open a window to your Desktop from the Dash and turn the volume up a little bit (it will help in the next steps).
- Open Volume Mixer: Right-click the Sound icon on the Windows taskbar and select 'Volume Mixer'.
- Find the "Dash" application that is registering audio, it is different from the "Headphones (Oculus Virtual Audio Device)". In the mixer, locate the slider for "Dash" and adjust the volume to 0.
- The ambient dash music should now be gone and sound from everywhere else should still work.
Finally, I am rid of that god-forsaken ambient loop. Sweet relief!
