No Brief description of the issue:
The sound comes from the headset and the computer speakers while not in “VR mode” but as soon as VR mode is activated, the headset sound stops. It would be nice to be able to set the audio output independently in settings of the game Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Activate VR mode with a Quest 2 connected with Link cable to PC PC specs for those who want to assist (if not entered in your profile)

Did you submit this to Zendesk? If so, what is your ticket #?
Did you choose the Oculus headphone option in the windows taskbar by clicking on the little speaker button? You’ll need to do this before starting the game.
Yes, but that is annoying to switch output devices back and forth. It should be an in game option. Or possibly just work as every other game does rather than completely not work. I have my Oculus mirror sound back to the PC and any PC sound back to the Oculus but MSFS is the only game that actually breaks this.
Haha
Thanks but it isn’t that, I tried that.
Driving me nuts, been this way ever since big updates to Oculus, MSFS and DCS all around the same time in December. I suspect it’s Oculus.
I s’pose you’ve checked that the game hasn’t muted the headphones? Did you try turning up the volume, and checking, by pressing the Oculus volume button on the headset itself?
Yes, I think I’ve turned up every volume setting I’ve come across to 100%. Something similar happened to x-plane 11 at the same time. It would be nice to get one of these two working properly, I love DCS but I love swanning around in props too. For a relatively old un-PC literate man it’s tricky!
Go into Device Manager sound settings
Disable any device you don’t use by right-clicking and selecting the disable option
Try again
For instance, I have a monitor sound device, a Nvidia device, a webcam device etc. None of which I use. Worth a try, I don’t have these sound issues of which you speak.
PS My respect and best wishes to you in your medical recovery. My dear old Dad succumbed to an undiagnosed brain tumour at 89. I’m lucky, just had 2 types of cancer, 2 lots of radio and 1 of chemo. I’m 70 next month, and I think I’m lucky. so far…
I looked in DM as you suggested, but everything seems to be used, my computer isn’t used for anything but flying games. I’m awaiting a new headset which may resolve many of my problems. It may add to them of course!
Thanks for your kind words. There’s very few of us that don’t have medical issues of one type or another as we get older. I was maybe unlucky, but maybe not.
so far…
