Casting to browser: Missing Options & Distorted Audio

[Ecleos]

Yesterday, streaming to the Google Chrome web browser is blocked in widescreen mode, with no possibility of switching to 4:3 mode as before today. What's more, the audio quality is suddenly very poor.

Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/1cd86m0/casting_to_a_browser_issues_that_started_sudde... 

I reset my quest 3 and all options were present and back. No more sound problems. I turned off the headset which told me that it would perform an update before extienction and now, I have again the same result (no more choice between 4:3 and 16:9, no more microphone option and a very bad sound quality). This bug is only present on cast to browser, I don't have any problem on chromecast (sound offset but this bug has been present for years now and known on the meta side).

option after shutdown and update :

For an overview of the sound quality, see the video of itsthedon, which also has the same bug:

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Could you remedy it, and if so, how?

NOT SOLVED

Hi all! 
Wanted to provide promising update!

Yesterday I updated the Quest OS to v67. A bit after I streamed via the oculus.com/casting - and to my surprise - my sound was picked up and was working as expected! 🙂 
@TheLegend27 , FYI, there were NO issues with all the assumptions you previously mentioned - Please take it with your DEV team.

I know this isn't the solution we were hoping for, but the sound is working again.

Thanks,

SpiderPrime.

Alright - i will test that too, once it get's a bit colder outside. Can't wear a VR Headset right now ^^

[Battlebot64]

not for me. This is ridiculous

You are completely incompetent. The mics work fine in games, there is still a problem with casting specifically. How are you going to ignore what we are telling you is the issue. 

[Battlebot64]

RIDICULOUS.

I recorded some gameplay today and the sound was fine, but the microphone was still so silent that it might also be muted.

You can hear the gameplay just fine - but not the mic 😕
Man Oculus...please give us the option for the microphone back..PLEASE!

Hey @Eispfogel, I hear ya. I know that Meta engineers regularly check the ideas forum, so you should pop the suggestion of bringing back the old features in there too. 🍒

I posted this as an idea. Hopefully it will change something 🙂
There was nothing wrong with that option. I don't know why it was removed. 

Have a nice day! 🙂
