Question

Can't complete setup after factory reset, headset now unusable

I have a Meta Quest 1. I recently got some new headphones and wanted to use them with my headset. Previously I had been using wireless ones, but these new ones I wanted to use wired for sound quality. Unfortunately, I found that the headphone jacks in my headset didn't work. I looked up the issue and saw that people had experienced the same thing and suggested a factory reset would fix it. While it seemed absurd to me that a factory reset would be necessary to restore functionality as basic as a working headphone jack, I nonetheless performed the factory reset and started setting up the headset in the Meta Horizons app once again. Everything went fine until I hit the Safety screen. The video plays (and loops), but I have no option to continue past the screen no matter how long I wait. I tried reinstalling the app and factory resetting the headset again, but the same thing happens. I am at the end of my rope, I don't know what else to try, I just want to play Beat Saber. So, since Meta is too cheap to pay proper customer support despite being one of the wealthiest companies on Earth, I instead have to ask you to please, please help me.

Hi Knilk_, 

Can you let us know if this is happening on any other apps/games or just this specific one? Did the factory reset fix your issue with the sound? We will be happy to help you troubleshoot further if not, please just let us know.

Hi Knilk_​ 🙂

You need an older version of the Horizon app, Quest 1 and Go setup doesn't work with the latest version.

Look the solution in the link below....it includes a link to an older version and explain what you must do.

Meta support doesnt't recognize my Oculus Quest (1st gen) serial number so I cannot get help. | Meta Community Forums - 1274215

Maybe you have to try various versions to make it work.... in the forum are several threads about that issue. And users postet different numbers that helped, you have to look through that.
