Sound problem in my pc after use my oculus 2

Hey there, thanks for reaching out. We understand you are having sound issues with Oculus Link. It's certainly no fun having your device working properly one second and the next having audio issues, so I will do my best to help you find a viable solution. 

There are several available troubleshooting steps you can use to help solve this issue. 

First, make sure that your software is up to date and that the volume is not muted on the device and computer. Next, check the audio input and output sources for both your headset and on your PC.

To check the audio input and output for your Oculus Quest:

1. Open the Oculus app on your computer.

2. Click Devices in the left side menu and then select Quest and Touch.

3. Below Audio Output in VR, make sure your Quest is selected.

To check the audio input and output for your PC:

1. Click the Speaker icon  in the task bar in the bottom-right part of your screen.

2. Click the ^ arrow to open a list of audio devices connected to your computer.

3. Check that your audio and mic are both set to Oculus Virtual Audio Device.

Additionally, if you are using any third party VR software on your PC, make sure that Oculus Virtual Audio Device is set as your audio input and output source there as well.

I had similar issue and was able to resolve it. 1) I went to device manager --> Sound, video, and game controllers  and right clicked on Oculus Audio device and uninstalled the device (maybe I could have done disable?) 2) I clicked menu --> action --> scan for hardware device and it found my speakers, . 3) Then I clicked on speaker icon in the windows tray (bottom right hand) and clicked the carrot ^ and selected speaker as the output device. I have no idea what this will do when I next attempt to play via Oculus link, worst case I may have to reinstall.

For me i had the same problem, all i had to do was go into the "sound mixer options" in settings(can find it by search) and change my output and input devices back to my speakers from my Oculus

I was having same issue, I went into control panel/system/sound and changed output from "steam streaming speakers" to my "realtek high def audio"  .. problem solved...

I ran into this problem when trying to us my meta quest 2 for car x drift racing on my friends PC, I was able to get the audio back but I'm not exactly sure how but I know that I searched through all the audio devices and found system sounds in the oculus section. I only used the USB type c as a last resort and I think that's what changed the audio to the oculus so if you do try to use it again just try air link on the meta instead of the cable. The main thing that did it was finding where system sounds were and going into the audio settings to delete what the system sounds moved to and then find your main audio output and change it to what ever device you use for audio. This is just me trying to figure it out but it seems I was able to do more than other people on this thread so I thought I would say something.

So been getting a bunch of Email spam for this thread, hopped on to find that my 100% fix went overlooked.

So I am going to break it down and unsub from the thread. This fix also applies to Steam Link and Virtual Desktop because they all work the same way. 

So the sound driver for the VR headset is a virtual mixer, it intercepts the audio and redirects it to the headset weather it is connected or disconnected and that is due to the software not being programed to automatically disable the mixer leaving the user to have to do it manually. 

SO here is the fix:

Windows 10/11 
*Win key + S to open search and type " Control panel " 

* once in old school control panel look to the upper right for * view by * click the drop down " category " and   select * Large or Small * icons

* once that is done click sound and you will have the sound panel open

* on the Playback tab disable these devices  ( Oculus virtual audio device / Steam streaming Speakers / virtual Desktop audio )
* Recording tab disable these devices ( Oculus virtual audio device / Steam streaming Microphone / virtual Desktop audio )

once done you should have audio back to your default device. 

Now when you want to use your headset you will need to re enable these devices again. So do create a shortcut to sound options on your desktop.

I spent weeks trying to solve this problem, and never could. EVERY time I would use the Oculus, I would have to uninstall it in Device Manager and then redo all of my sound settings. In the end, it is just too frustrating and not worth it. I gave up on Oculus.
