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.

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 reset :

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?

The whole situation sucks and for me this is a letdown, how this is handled...But i tried my best to help solve it - for now i just stopped streaming completely and stopped using the Quest. I have to invest in more hardware to solve this situation....but that's too much for me. I just want to stream and talk to my friends and make videos for myself. That worked fine before.

I guess the support here is not able to talk and communicate with the people who can actually change things.
