Question

No Sound After Link Update v83

After installing the newest update for the Link app last night, audio will no longer play through Link. I've tried:

-Uninstalling and reinstalling the app

-Reinstalling the Oculus Drivers

-Repairing the app

-Ensuring the device is working properly through Windows

All to no avail... *Also not opt-in to the PTC

I'm not sure what to really do at this point. Do I have to wait for another update to come around or are there any other possible fixes I can do?

See my post here. I read posts from some users who reported that they had to do the repair twice before they got their PCVR audio back.

Yeah, same issue here, tried a few repairs and no joy.

UPDATE: I replied to this comment with what worked for me!!

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've done all of the steps Mongler12​ placed in their initial post and rebooted both PC and headset multiple times. Repaired like 4 times during troubleshooting, and validated that I'm not opted into PTC.

Wondering if this is a "wait-for-patch" type of issue? :(

Dunno if they just pushed something out... or if I just happened to "fix" it. In a "last-ditch" effort, I did the following:

-Unplugged the link cable from my headset.

-Uninstalled the Meta Horizon Link from my PC.

-Went into the following folders and deleted the "Oculus" folder if it existed. [Note: Some of these folders are hidden, and if your install is on a different drive than C:\ you will need to look for it there.]
---C:\Program Files
---C:\Program Files (x86)
---C:\ProgramData
---C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local
---C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow
---C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming [Note: Under this folder I deleted: Oculus, Oculus Remote Desktop, and Oculus Client.]

-Went into C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Temp and deleted ALL files. [Note: Some of these files may be currently in use by other programs; simply skip all of those when the "error message" flags.]

-Downloaded the latest install app for Meta Horizon Link from the site: https://www.meta.com/help/quest/1517439565442928/?srsltid=AfmBOop6_JXMeX7IHozTwYx8tUtDTKBAn_mI6zxcg5HuHcG5AsubLUMX

-Installed per normal and performed the reboot as requested after the install was complete.

-Opened the freshly installed Meta Horizon Link application and plugged my link cable back into my headset.

-The application will state it needs to be updated, perform this, and the application will reboot. For me, it then said that I needed to update the headset via the application. I did this as well.

-Finally, I put the headset on, connected to my PC via Link, and tested. It worked!

I know it's a lot of steps, and I'm not sure which of these ACTUALLY fixed the issue, but I hope this helps others!

I gave this a try and still nothing. Would you suggest any other options?

Hello,

I had the same issue with the last patch, tried all of the OP fixes but without results.

However I did find a solution : i went into Meta Quest Link on my PC, then into "Settings", "Beta", and then I enabled "public testing" (not sure of the name in english, I have my app set in french).

Meta Quest Link then updated, I had to restart my computer and the sound was back again on PCVR.

I hope this can help someone !
