tetoculus Excellent! that worked (needed to upgrade to Win11 first...).

MetaStoreHelp It is not noise, it is supposed to be background "music" that cannot be turned off. So, it is basically a badly designed feature - it is nice for first 15seconds, but then you would like to turn it off - and there is no settings to do that... And it is in Link Dashboard (homescreen when you are connected to a PC)

Hey everyone. I spoke again with the engineering team about this feature. The best option that they recommend is to make posts on the Ideas Page of the forums about this feature. If enough people make posts about this feature, it could get enough developers to look at this idea, which can have the possibility of being implemented for future updates. Other posts from the Ideas Page have later been used for past updates, so this could do the same.

    As mentioned in the reddit thread, this appears to be a bug where the ambient sounds from the "Space Setup" tool (where you trace your room boundaries etc.) don't stop. Rebooting my headset (Quest 3) resolved the issue.

      ok, for me, on Quest 3, simple reboot solved the stuck background noize sound i had.

      more info about the issue for devs: after rebooting i was prompted to setup the boundary (which is ok, i think) and during this process i had the same sound again and it dissapeared after setup was finished (as it supposed to be). so i think this problem was caused by not disposed sound player after one of the boundry setup finishes. please check all the boundry setup scenarius to make sure you dispose the playing sound before letting user leave the setup process.

      I found a solution that worked with my setup: Meta Quest Pro connected via PCVR link cable.

      Adjust the "Dash" volume slider in your windows sound mixer

      1. While in the PCVR "home" environment (pronounced: the void) where the ambient music loops, open a window to your Desktop from the Dash and turn the volume up a little bit (it will help in the next steps).
      2. Open Volume Mixer: Right-click the Sound icon on the Windows taskbar and select 'Volume Mixer'.
      3. Find the "Dash" application that is registering audio, it is different from the "Headphones (Oculus Virtual Audio Device)". In the mixer, locate the slider for "Dash" and adjust the volume to 0.
      4. The ambient dash music should now be gone and sound from everywhere else should still work.

      Finally, I am rid of that god-forsaken ambient loop. Sweet relief!

        Nice job with that find there, SirMeowzer! Hopefully this is able to help other users who are also having to deal with the background noise.
