It feels to me that the quest 2 maximum volume (might also be with the q1) is ALOT lower than on version 22. I really have to focus at times to hear what people or AI ingame are saying.
I seem to be noticing the same, I was really struggling with the Star Wars game have to rely on the sub-titles. I got it max out in settings. I need to try a Rift title on the PC to see if it's the same now.
