Audio delay in meta quest developer hub and on oculus.com/cast

Hey there!

Just as the title says, I have a very noticable audio delay when using any of the mentioned casting methods.

I already tried installing new drivers and a factory reset.

The delay is immediately noticable when playing Beat Saber on the quest and casting.

Reducing the resolution / bitrate / frame rate did nothing.

 

I am running a Quest 3 connected via Wifi 6 5ghz 2400mbit connection to my pc, connected via 2.5gbit LAN to the router. On the PC the Meta Quest Developer Hub is running in Beta Cast 2.0 ADB over Wi-Fi.

The audio delay is also there when having the Quest connected via cable and normal ADB.

Any tips appreciated!

Kind regards
Dustin

    Hi Maertuerer! Thanks for sharing your experience with the delayed audio while casting. We certainly understand how disconnected audio is disrupting, and we're happy to look into this with you. Below, we've listed a few questions to help us get up to speed:

     

    • What devices have you attempted to cast to?
    • Can you let us know about your Processor, Graphics Card, and Operating System?
    • Are you having the same experience with Air Link vs. the Quest Link cable?

        Hey there ShogunLeek! We know audio being on point can be crucial to the experience and we would love to see if we can help resolve your issue. Are you experiencing audio delay when casting as well? If so, is it with all apps or specific apps? Also, any additional information about your setup or anything that you think can help us help you would be great! We look forward to your reply!

    Yo, im having totally same issue and nothing what i tried affected this problem in any way.

    Im using decent PC with perfected 6 ghz network setup and yep i have audio delay/desync too. I tried everything and anything to fix it, but looks like its just issue in MQDH itself. Nothing that we can do but wait for possible (i hope it will come out) fix for that.

      I'm having the same issue, similar story, great computer, optimized network setup. not only is the issue present on MQDH but it is also present on EVERY other casting option.

    March 25, 2025. Issue is still present, despite multiple updates and bugfixes. Latest meta horizon OS, latest MQDH version.

    Currently, we dont have way to cast video/audio without having huge tradeoffs. This issue was opened one year ago and its still not fixed.

    Even pico is able to stream to discord in standalone mode without using PC in a great quality, without ANY issues. No latency, no audio desync, no artifacts, no crops, no fps drops. Why meta quest cant do the same? 

    Do i need to say more? Going with meta quest was a mistake.
