However, as I said, this solution only provided a remedy for 30 seconds to 3 minutes until the audio drivers crashed again. Dropping down to the Windows 10 Audio properties and toggling the 'disable all enhancements' on and off did reset the audio.This is reproducible in ALL apps I've tested and launched from within Oculus. Testing using the Oculus environment always resulted in a loss of audio anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes of use.Steam Launched apps appear to be unaffected. This only happens with applications launched within the Oculus app. Here's one method that reset audio settings and did get the audio to work again through the rift earphones but did not provide lasting results. Hopefully this post will save someone a similar fate until the Oligarchs at Oculus decide to stand behind their product.Ĭlearly the problem is software/firmware related. According to the logs, I have over 20 hours invested in debugging their product and I'm sharing what I found. However, I can add some details from numerous hours of testing. If they remove this, I'll simply post this again on every other board and also let folks know that this post was censored on the Oculus 'support' forum. It would appear that Oculus does follow what's being said on Reddit or other forums so I am posting this here. This same discussion is all over the Internet and is apparently not an isolated incident. I hate it when companies hide behind technology to avoid their responsibilities to their customers.

I guess this is just one more example of a company that won't allow their customers access to support and expect us to help each other. MSI Z270 SLI Plus mainboard (not running SLI, that's next year) I have sacrificed a chicken, under the light of a New Moon. I have removed any/all mods from Beat Saber. I have uninstalled Oculus setup and reinstalled it. I have updated all drivers, per Oculus support. In Beat Saber, the song I'm playing just stops, as if the game detected that audio crashed and just pauses the song. I have uninstalled Steam VR and Reinstalled. I'll use BeatSaber as an example, but this seems to happen in any game, Oculus or SteamVR. The headset works in every other way, when this happens.

While I cannot confirm the update is the issue, since that time, my Rift headset has suddenly started crashing the audio driver, seemingly. The first week, everything seemed to generally work as expected.

while I'm new to the Rift, I'm very technical.
