quest settings on link app:
please im a somewhat popular streamer i need the solution quick
I'm surprised I'm having to state this but a screenshot showing "Quest 3S" does not guarantee the correct physical device, driver, or audio endpoint is actually being used.
After updates, software can
Re-enumerate devices,
Reuse cached profiles,
Mislabel headset variants,
Bind audio to stale / virtual endpoints.
It’s entirely possible for a Quest 3 to appear as a 3S (or vice-versa) while the underlying audio device fails to initialise correctly. This is a known class of issue with Link-based audio routing.
That’s why update timing, headset confirmation, and device changes matter, they’re used to identify whether the problem is:
Driver re-registration
Audio endpoint mismatch
Runtime failure
Or a post-update regression
There is a reason why a lot of basic information is confirmed in many fields, not just support. Basic diagnostic steps before guessing at fixes.
If the goal is to actually solve the issue, narrowing those variables is necessary.
Thanks for your detailed answer👍...... I admit, I just focused on the screenshot🤪
Steam link and Airlink are both separate applications with their own development teams, so specific app related issues could be issues related to the applications.
You're missing various bits of information which would make a solution more likely. Such as
Some advice.
Responding with "it’s obvious” to someone volunteering their free time in the holidays to help, and asking for basic diagnostic clarification, isn’t acceptable.
Those questions are asked deliberately, device detection, model reporting, and software behaviour don’t always line up, and assumptions lead to missed causes.
I’m going to step away from this thread.
Good luck getting it sorted.
