Audio only playing when in oculus menu - not in game project on packaged build.
Hi,
Looking for some assistance with audio issues in a packaged build. I just started packaging my project and I'm experiencing some differences from the UE4 editor 'Vr Preview" and the packaged build. I'm not surprised but as it is, the audio is only playing when I press and hold the oculus home button, then I get a quick flash of audio that should be playing in the game. If I turn my desktop audio on I can hear it coming from the computer speakers, so it appears game is not switching the audio device to Oculus? Is there a way I can manually handle this inside of UE4? I've always disliked the audio functionality that oculus does as it seems to confuse all users. I've seen this on twitch and I've experienced in my own demoing of games to friends. Sometimes the windows device seems to take the lead. Very frustrating and now it's occurring in my own game project. If you know a sure fire way to get the audio fixed for normal oculus play I'm open to hearing that too but I'd like to address the elephant in the room too.
