Custom Home Environments on Quest Pro don't play back audio
I am the creator of many custom homes over on Sidequest under my username there -ROBYER1.
I got a Quest Pro recently and found that my custom homes that worked fine on Quest 2 no longer play back audio.
I took a look at the differences between the Quest Pro official home environments and the Quest 2 official home environments and I noticed the Quest Pro home environments use a 4 channel Opus encoded .ogg instead of the usual 2 channel Vorbis encoded .ogg from the Quest 2 homes.
I tested this out by inserting the 4 channel Opus encoded .ogg from one of the meta official home environments into my own custom home environment and the audio suddenly worked.
Why do 2 channel Vorbis encoded .ogg files not play audio on the Quest Pro when they worked fine on Quest 2?
Screenshot of the files, Quest Pro Cascadia home background audio .ogg on the left, on the right is a usual .ogg file from Custom home environments that works on Quest 2

This is actually a Sidequest issue I have found with the PC and VR app of Sidequest - for Custom Homes they usually have an .apk with sound and an .apk that is silent, it tries to install both apks sequentially so the silent .apk file gets installed last which was fooling me. I have reported it to Sidequest
