Request: Please add microphone input support to Virtual Display / Mixed Reality Link

Hello, I’m using the Virtual Display app on my Quest 3 and I’ve noticed that the app currently does not expose any microphone input device to Windows. The Mixed Reality Link Audio Device appears for playback/output and works correctly, but the corresponding input device (“Mixed Reality Link Audio Device – Headset Microphone”) remains grayed out and marked as “Not plugged in.”

The Oculus Virtual Audio Device shows a constant ~50% input level, but it does not capture any real audio when using Virtual Display. Microphone input only works when using Air Link (OVAD) or Steam Link (Steam Streaming Microphone). This suggests that Virtual Display does not yet implement microphone routing in the Mixed Reality Link pipeline.

Virtual Display is my preferred way to use my PC in VR because of its mixed reality panels and hand‑tracking controls, which are much more convenient than Air Link or SteamVR. Adding microphone input support would make Virtual Display fully usable for voice chat, calls, and PC applications that rely on audio input.

Could you please consider implementing microphone support for Virtual Display in a future update? It would make a huge difference for users who rely on mixed reality workflows and hand‑tracking.

Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve the Quest experience.
