No Sound in VR

Using an Oculus Quest, and when I toggle to VR I lose all sound. Checked my windows sound device, and the Oculus is selected, as it gets automatically changed like normal. I cna hear all other sounds...

    Thanks for the suggestions all! I managed to figure out the problem on my end.

    So, as you might know, the DS4 (PS4) controller gets picked up as an audio device by windows. I already knew that, and made sure that my Windows Sound Settings where what I wanted them to be (Oculus), but it still didn't work.

    I think Pulser47 had a similar problem where the game seems to have its own Sound Device setting hidden in the background that overrides the Windows default setting. If I wait to turn my controller on _after_ the game has loaded, the game picks up the controller as the audio device, no matter what Windows says, and will actually SAVE that setting, even through game restarts.

    Solution - I had to turn off the controller while the game was running (Which immediately switched the audio to my Oculus), shut down the game, turn on the controller, then start the game with the controller turned on already.
