Rift: Audio Issues
Hey,

i have a really weird behavior when im using VRChat.

When i start VRChat i have Audio working fine within the Rift (is the default output device when stream vr is running)

Now i enter VRChat and change the Microphone in the System Setting to Rift -> Rift Audio is gone and suddently VRChat uses my speakers to output the sound.

Changing the Microphone and recording of my voice works fine, but VRChat always sets the Audio output device wrong.

->
Headset Microphone: Audio in Rift
Rift Microphone: Audio on the speakers

Please take note that at no point have i ever changed any audio output devices, the default output device was the rift headset all the time.

Someone has a idea what or why that is happening?

Is this issue just from VRChat, or is it SteamVR itself?

I had a similar issue when I first started using SteamVR, because what SteamVR tries to do is swap your audio devices around when you launch a game.

I would try to specify what you're using, rather than leaving anything as default, as that was my issue originally.

I don't know if this will help you, but these are my current settings:

In Windows 10:
Default device/communications device - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
Default microphone - Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio)

In SteamVR:

Set Playback device to: Headphones (Rift Audio)

Set Record device to: Microphone (Rift Audio)

Mirror audio to device: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)

When SteamVR is exited
Set Playback device to: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)

Set Record device to: Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio)

Thanks for the response. I'm using the exact same settings as you. I don't have any issues with other games.

As a test i disabled all other audio devices except for the rift ones now, and i still have the same issue that audio is gone once i select the rift microphone ingame (VRChat - System - Microphone)

And within Oculus i have the Rift Headset/Microphone as VR Devices and Audio Mirroring disabled. But since it only happens when i change the Mic within the game, which should have no effect on the audio output device, i think this is a issue with the game? It could also be that some other software on my computer is causing trouble idk

But the weird thing is that Rift Audio Output works fine as long as i don't select the rift microphone ingame.

Maybe someone had a simelar issue before?

I actually found a fix in my case. This bug occurs when you specifiy a output device within the oculus app, you just need to change it to default device within the oculus app and steam vr + vrchat worked fine in my case. Also make sure that you have audio mirroring within oculus disabled.

I'm having the exact same issue. Tried all of the troubleshooting methods mentioned by Kurtino. VRChat will launch & play the sound normally through the headsets, but then when after the game logs me in, the sound goes silent & the mic is also muted. If I go into the VRChat "System" settings & Select Realtek High Definition Audio as my Mic, then it will allow me to hear all of the sound, but it won't allow me to speak through my Mic. If I change it back to the Rift, I can see my mic light up when I talk, but I can't hear any sound. I have no issues with this when I play outside of SteamVR on my desktop using my regular headset.

Note: This is only happening to me when I play VRChat. But then again, I don't have use my Rift audio & mic in other VR games in Steam; VRChat is the only game I have for Steam VR where I use both my Rift audio & the mic. I have also completly unplugged any other mics & audio such as my speakers & my HyperX Cloud II headset, stil no luck. Considering VRChat is in the Early Access stage, I'm leaning more on believing it has something to do with VRChat.

MY ISSUE IS FIXED NOW!

For so long I thought this was an issue with VRChat. I knew my Oculus was fine because it worked normally on my boyfriend's computer. I trouble-shooter the hell out of this. I followed all steps listed previously in other posts. But nothing would work. Many VRchat updates came out but still, nothing worked.

I recently upgraded everything in my computer. The only things I didn't replace were peripherals, storage bays, & my graphics card. After replacing everything else, my headset started working normally with VRchat. I'm almost certain it had something to do with my motherboard being so old. I did extensive research & everything pointed to my old motherboard. If your motherboard is 5-6+ years old, the issue might be your motherboard. But keep in mind all of the other things that I had done that might have fixed it. I upgraded to a new processor with a brand new version of Windows installed on it. & because I had a new processor, i had to reinstall my oculus & steam software.

That narrows it down to a few things:
- Windows
- Motherboard
- Steam

So that means you could try reinstalling Steam, re-formatting your computer, or get a new motherboard & hope that your money spent was worth it. My computer needed the upgrades. I did not do all this just to get my VRchat working. But I'm glad it worked.
