(this is a meta quest 2, old from 2023 when I bought it) I was playing gorilla tag, I entered city, and I was playing as usual, Buying cosmetics, and I was at the mirror, and someone had a purple bubble around themselves. So I hit them with my banana sword, they hit back with their fist, and I heard a pop. A loud, 100% volume (had my quest volume at like 50% volume) low pop. Then a loud loud ear ringing. That wasn’t coming from my ears. I thought he was making the noise so I said β€œwhat happened?”…well I turned off my headset, heard another pop and it stopped obviously. What happened?

You should contact  Another Axiom Inc, the game developers and report it as a bug as maybe it's due to an in game bug . Just in case you could also report it to Meta through the bug reporting tool on your headset, just in case there is an issue with the audio on your headset. And finally, be careful with that banana sword! 😁

Hi darkredvrgt.2026​ 

Seems Gorilla tag is killing headsets πŸ˜…

Did you also experience problems like overheating or tracking issues before this popping noise, similar to the user in the thread above?

I think, you need a repair service like Fix my Oculus - if you are in the US - or google for a repair service in your country.

I’ve always had tracking issues, and my vr wasn’t warm at all. I had just hopped on
