Sound when using Oculus Rift

Post by Jim610 » Fri Dec 28, 2018 5:04 pm

Hi

How do I get the sound to come out the normal speakers instead of the Rift ear phones?

My default sound replay is the speakers as my HMD earphones are faulty.

Regards

Jim

Hi Jim -Before you start the flight go to the speaker symbol on your windows task bar and click - you will see all the options of available sound cards - it will be set to oculus Rift , but then reselect the sound card for your PC and should fix the problem . When you start Oculus Service at bootup the system sound card usually sets itself to Rift .

Is your Rift still in warranty ? there is a problem with copper ribbon wire breaking in time - but also it can hep to remove then reinstall headphones and screw them up as tightly as you can . I was very lucky when this happened to me I got a replacement Rift well out of warranty - i guess they Oculus learned the strength of Australian consumer laws .

You can also mirror the audio to the speakers by selecting the option. It's accessed via the Oculus client>devices>headset
