We had this issue a few times on our two copies. It turns out that it is easy for the SteamVR app to overlay the game and that silences the audio of the game. If you have no audio, peek out the headset and see if something is there and click on the app to return focus.
Yeah, I had this issue too. I had to click the game on my monitor with my mouse and then my quest picked up the audio.
I have the same issue, i‘m running the game via origin. So steam is not active. I’m using an oculus an in that moment I switch to VR all sound is gone
Starts up all nice and crisp in my 7.1 headphones, (game on Origin) and then as soon as vr game launches, it defaults to rift s crappy sound, even when everything is set to my headphones, doesn't look like anything has set to rift s headphones by default switching either........as usual EA have public alpha and beta and still screw things up...........
As i posted in reply to a similar thread, sound in my headset ok, but as soon as vr starts, rift s headphones take over, and in all settings on desktop and in game all point to my 7.1 headphones still as default !?
For Rift S, i went into settings-headset and changed to windows default, rather than rift s headset option, started the game then toggled VR (make sure you are running borderless screen) and sound was in my glorious 7.1 headphones and not the rifts tin cans. EA will no doubt let the community solve their problems for them as usual 😠
