Disconnecting Link Cable Quest 2

My Oculus Quest 2 keeps randomly disconnecting from 0-60 minutes after being in use, Oculus link works fine with other USB cables and I have written out the possibility of it being a faulty Type-C port or cable by testing different combinations. I have already tried possible fixes such as disabling power limitations but it still crashes while using the Type-C port. The reason I wish to use this port over other USB ports is because this is the only one which keeps my headset at full charge.

 

Oculus app version 38.0.0.51.727 (38.0.0.51.727)

GeForce Game Ready Driver Version: 5.11.79

Ryzen 5, 3600
RTX 3070 Gaming OC

Could I ask whether you're running USB 3.0 or 2.0 when using a USB A port? I've found that I get a stable link connection (for several hours) using USB 2.0, but when trying to use a USB 3.0 cable (both Type A and Type C) it will disconnect completely randomly, sometimes in half an hour, sometimes within a minute.

Only got USB 3.0 ports but sounds like the same disconnection problem.

The same thing has been happening to me and i have tried every "fix" in the book it seems. Please let me know if this issue gets resolved.

This has worked for me:

Try to also install the latest Oculus drivers by following the steps below:
Close the Oculus app.
Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run command.
Enter C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-drivers.
Open oculus-driver.
Open the Oculus app and then try to connect your headset again.

A "check for updates" button in the app would definitely be on my priorities list if I were them haha

I'm experiencing very similar with you Jonny, whenever I use my USB 2.0 cable (Type A), I never get disconnected...but whenever I use my USB 3.0 cable (Type C - I only have this, and this is not the official oculus link cable. I even see people mentioning in forums that although they use the official oculus link cable, this random disconnection also happens), I got random disconnection, and you're right sometimes half an hour, sometimes within a minute, sometimes couple of minutes... can Oculus / Meta team solve this problem? Because indeed using the USB 3.0 cable, I could feel the quality is better (visual and also sound), although not significant.

I tried this but sadly still does not work for me...
