No Input Audio for PC Link App
I have tried everything, hours worth of work. For some reason, I can hear everyone around me, game audio, you name it. But when I cast my headset to the Meta Horizon Link App, i cannot hear myself. I have repaired the app, uninstalled the app, messed with a million settings. It seems the OVAD isnt registering at all. I know my Quest 3s mic works, it just seems that it is muted (its not) Does anyone have something to fix this? I really dont wanna have to buy a external mic just to stream games. This is honestly such an outrage.Can't prevent app startup
This issue has been driving me up the wall. I don't allow any app to pop up on my screen after starting up my PC. No discord, web browser, or music until I tell my computer that I want those things opened. It annoys me to no end when I download a new app and find out that it wants startup rights. So I got the meta app a while ago but didn't use it much. Disabled startup through task manager--no problem! Then a few years and an update later, and suddenly it's starting up again. "No problem", I say, "I'll just disable it again. Maybe it forgot with the update, it happens!" And then it's somehow missing from task manager's list of startup apps. With a little bit of looking around online, I find that you need to disable the Oculus runtime stuff from the services menu now. So I do that, and it works until I update my app again. Little more digging later, and I find a way to manually add the app (Client.exe) to the startup folder, which then allowed me to disable it from task manager. This worked... for about a week, until I stupidly updated my app again. Now it's once again got the gall to open on startup every single time I boot my PC. I read somewhere that this is a bug... is that true, or is Meta just trying to get as much of that sweet, juicy background data collecting we all know Facebook loves so much? We may not know the true answer for sure, but I do know what answer they suggest by still running the app in the background after it's been closed. Just sayin. Any help with getting Meta off of my startup for good would be greatly appreciated. I've turned off app updates, and I won't be updating the app again anytime soon.
Meta Link v.85 infinite loading
Whenever I try starting up meta link my headset will display this image It will not stop loading and will spam my windows notifications about how my link isn't working and that I should check a support article that doesn't exist. I've tried every solution at this point including: Restarting pc and quest multiple times Blocking oculus outbound rules on firewall settings Clearing all temp file Relocating my link cable to a different USB port Blocking my ethernet before starting link Reinstalling and repairing meta pcvr app Trying to use airlink to play, doesn't work Does anyone have any other fixes I can use?
Application launch error.
I can't figure out what happened to the application on the PC. Updates are worth everything. At one point, it began to produce such a window, followed by a suggestion to "fix", which does not change anything, absolutely. Deleting and installing it again also didn't bring anything. Who knows what to do?PC FREEZES when plugging in CV1 USB
When I plug in my Rift CV1's USB cable into my motherboard the whole PC freezes and the only way to turn it off is via a forced shut down by holding the power button. If I leave it plugged in when starting, the PC freezes during or shortly after the Meta Horizon Link app starts. I've tried updating NVIDIA graphics drivers, updating/reinstalling Meta Horizon Link, updating motherboard drivers, disabling USB power saving on individual devices but nothing works. I've also tried both USB ports direct from the motherboard chipset and also ones that go through an internal controller first, with the same end result.
Quest 3 — Still no PC audio when using Link via USB-C (2025)
Hi everyone, I am reopening this issue because it still happens in 2025. My Quest 3 loses all PC audio when using Link cable. Windows shows “Oculus Virtual Audio Device” and the audio meter moves, but there is no sound in the headset. Cable has been tested by the app and works at full speed. If I use the “Repair” option in the Meta/Oculus PC app, the audio works again. But after a few days, the problem returns and I have to run Repair again. This happens almost every week. This makes the headset annoying to use because repairing the app takes several minutes and should not be necessary for basic audio output. Why this is a problem: -Repairing the app every time: takes several minutes -closes services and restarts the PC app -sometimes resets parts of the configuration -shouldn’t be necessary for such a basic feature What I already checked: -Oculus Virtual Audio Device set as default in Windows -Volume and sound device settings are correct -Good USB 3 cable and port -Quest audio works fine in standalone mode -Windows 11 fully updated -Meta PC app fully updated What I am looking for: Are other users still experiencing this? Does anyone know what keeps breaking the audio driver? Is there a permanent fix that avoids repairing the app constantly? Meta support: when will this known issue be solved??? Thanks in advance for any help or new information.
An alternate way to use your mobile in Meta Quest
Having tried one of the apps to connect my Android phone to Meta (without success) I happened upon a really good solution that works without using ´developer mode´and all the issues that accompany it. DisplayPass is a free pairing solution available on Android and Meta. It´s really simple to pair the transmitter (Android) and receiver (Meta) devices on the same WiFi network, at which point you get to see your phone display in a typical Meta virtual window ... without any discernible lag. "Great" you say, "but I don´t just want to cast my mobile device to the Meta, I want to use it" No problem. Just invest in a 2.4g/Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that supports Android. I bought a combo by Subblim for 20 euros that allows connection to my PC, Android and Meta, with hotkeys to switch between them. During Android connection a cursor displayed on the mobile screen acts just like your finger with clicking, swiping and dragging, so when connected through DisplayPass you can operate almost anything on the phone using the mouse. And with hot swapping between the PC and Meta as well, it's great for productivity.Meta Quest 3 Suddenly Not Connecting to PC
I’ve been using my Meta Quest 3 with my PC for a while now without any issues. I was able to copy files back and forth between the headset and the PC just fine. But recently, it suddenly stopped connecting. When I plug in the USB cable, I still get the notification bubble on the headset asking me to allow access. I press it as usual, but nothing shows up on the PC — no drive, no device, nothing. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: factory reset both the headset and the PC Tried multiple USB cables (including the one that used to work) Verified that my phone and other devices connect to the PC without any issues Still, the Quest 3 won’t show up on the computer. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on what might be causing it or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
