Ambient sound gone from "virtual environment"

I just got my Quest 2 yesterday and it's amazing. However when I put it on today I noticed that the ambient sound in the virtual home environment (I don't know what to call it, it's where you start, in a snowy cabin or a desert hut etc).  I am pretty sure there was sound yesterday (sound of the wind and waves).  Am I mistaken? How do I get it back? All the other sounds (clicks, beeps and sound in other apps) seems to be working fine.

I had the same thing happen yesterday.

 

For my part, I have been adding and deleting a ton of SidequestVR & Itch games as well as testing out what media files will and won't work. 

 

So yesterday there was no ambiance in the home, but after shutting down the system last night and turning it back on this morning all is well again. I guess it just needed a nap! 😂

Hi!! This is super late so I’m sure you’ve already solved the issue by now, but I was having the same problem and wanted to share what I did to fix it since I found this thread while I was struggling and also wanted answers! It was very simple, I just restarted my Quest 2 headset by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds and selecting “restart”, then re-entered my home environment and my ambient sound was back! Hope this helps someone! 🙂
