Adjusting Volume Output While Casting

Is there a way to hear volume while casting to your phone or computer with the quest 2? The option of hearing should definitely be added to parental controls, at least for younger children.  Please inform - thank you.

Hey there, @MaSlapdude,, and thanks for reaching out to the community with this question! Being able to utilize another screen to monitor play-sessions for youngsters is one of our favorite uses of the Casting feature, and we're glad to see you are making use of it! Casting from the headset to another device includes both the video and the audio data, however, so you should have been able to hear as well as see the video. Is it possible you had the volume turned down or muted on the receiving device? We see this sometimes when phones are in "Silent" or "Do not Disturb" mode. If not, and you're not hearing audio on any screen you cast to, then we may need to look at your casting environment more closely. Please let us know when you can, we're looking forward to digging into this with you!

I’m having a very similar issue with this on my quest 3 when casting to the pc app there is no sound but if I cast to the website the sound is fine. I know instructions say use the website for pc so maybe app doesn’t work for casting to pc. But I suppose I could have a setting wrong can you direct me to what I might need to look at. The app would just be easier for me streaming which is why I’m asking. Thx  @MetaQuestSupport
