DJBOT Horizon Worlds Quest Link Headset Microphone / Oculus Virtual Audio Device MONO not STEREO

It's 2024.. Can we get Stereo? Not MONO?

Please consider this feature request..

When users want to input audio via Quest Link Device under Windows I believe it utilizes the only Windows Device on the Recording Tab called "Headset Microphone / Oculus Virtual Audio Device" to do this.

Alot of users using Horizon Worlds want to DJ Music via Spotify etc. This is how its done.
Yet what most don't understand is its being sent through a Mono 1 channel 16bit 48khz Device Driver?
(correct me if I am wrong)
After years of testing this it appears it definately MONO as playing any Beatles Stereo panning song results in not ever hearing 1 of the LEFT or RIGHT channels eg. voice of singer.

OPTIONS

  1. Add a second device "LINE IN" for this which is 2 channel stereo for audiophiles.
  2. Add 2 channel stereo to the exiting "MICROPHONE" device.
  3. MOST URGENT give us an option to toggle any Noise Cancellation that is done on this device.
    Most of the quiet parts of music becomes rather GLITCHED lagg sounding most likely due to the filter that has to be applied for MIC users?  There really is no need for this using Quest Link.

  • Yes, noise cancelling has been a huge problem.  I can understand why they do it but users should have the freedom to turn it off.
