Issue 2: No Audio Playing in Your VR Headset
If you're not hearing any in-game audio while connected to SteamVR, the issue may be with your streaming software’s audio output settings.
How to Fix It:
-
Open Your Streaming Software Settings
-
This might be Pico Connect, Virtual Desktop, or Meta Air Link, depending on your headset.
-
-
Locate the Audio Output Setting
-
Find the audio output device option—this is often under "Sound Settings" or "Advanced."
-
-
Set Audio Output to 'Headset'
-
Change the output device to 'Headset' or the specific name of your VR headset’s audio device.
-
-
Apply and Restart If Needed
