2 issues with player

Caupo

Hi, just bought the player, in overall it works nice for 3D movies, but I have 2 major issues with it. First is, I couldnt find how to switch to PC audio, sound comes only from Quest itself. And the second is stuttering playback on high resolution VR videos, which plays fine on DeoVR for example.

Hi Caupo,

Regarding the first issue, you can connect bluetooth headphones or bluetooth speaker to your Quest. For more information, click this link: https://home-automations.net/how-to-connect-bluetooth-headphones-to-oculus-quest-2/

You can also switch to PC audio by following the steps below:

Connect your Quest to your PC with a USB cable (Please make sure you have installed Oculus app on your PC)
Enable Oculus Link on your Quest, then the Oculus app window will pops up on your pc automatically
Tap "Devices" on the left sidebar, then click on the ">" icon next to your "Quest 2 and Touch"
Turn on "Hear VR Audio from Computer" and select the correct speakers on your PC
Then you can hear the audio from both your headset and the computer audio device.

Note: When you enable Oculus Link, you're using SKYBOX Rift version. We haven't update this version for a long time and we'll release a new Rift version later.

As for the stuttering issue, please follow the steps below to switch to Quest beta 1.1.0(520). We fixed some stuttering issue in this new beta version.

Go to Oculus.com and find SKYBOX VR Player. (Make sure you login your Facebook/Oculus account)
Scroll down and you'll find "Language", "Version", "Developer" and etc. Tap "Version" to open the Version notes window.
Click on the down arrow sign to switch versions.
Uninstall and reinstall SKYBOX on your Quest 2.

Let us know if you have any other problems.

Kind regards,
Lucy

Hello Lucy,

Thanks for your response. I mainly use Skybox VR Player (Rift) from my computer's (since it has more powerful hardware than Quest2) Oculus application. And all the games and other applications which I use from computer's Oculus application, all use correct Sound Output (which is defined in Windows Sound Settings), except for Skybox VR Player and one other VR player. Later on I will try your suggestion and see if it helps with the sound issue.

As for the second issue, it probably wont help, since as I said before, I use Skybox VR Player from my PC. I did try to use it directly from Quest2 but then I couldn't see my PC files in player, it just did not connect to PC unfortunately.

Ok, so the firsts issue with the sound on PC is solved, your solution worked just fine, thank you very much!

However stuttering issue on PC is still there, I can understand it with h265 videos that hardware together with airlink is probably too "heavy" for PC to quest2 connection, but why h264 videos are stuttering as well since they do play fine on DeoVR player?
