After update to Win 11 22H2 - no longer switching audio to VR headset when launching in-game

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

No

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?

Tried with and without, yes.

Brief description of the issue:

After the 22H2 Windows update, when I turn on my VR headset while MSFS has already started, it will no longer automatically switch to the VR headset. I have to start the headset before launching MSFS. Then it will sit on my table being turned on and burning electricity and the displays without any use while I’m preparing a flight (depends, but sometimes up to half an hour).

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Update to Windows 11 22H2. Have VR headset (Reverb G2 in my case) turned off. Launch MSFS, enter a flight. Turn on the VR headset and switch to VR → no audio.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Windows 11 22H2, Reverb G2 VR headset.

Aaaaand I found a workaround :slight_smile: Set any other output device in the sim settings, apply, and the set system default output device again, apply, and sound is back.
