vidarwindir Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hello, i just got the vive pro today but when i use the windows soundcheck to test the vie pro's sound everything sounds as it should but as soon as i open steam vr my sound changes to something "8 bit like audio". Inside windows i've selected 16bit / 44,1 khz as audio quality but every other setting has the same problems. Here's how it sounds like inside windows, then inside steam vr and then back in windows:https://vocaroo.com/i/s1ASQWwyX1XY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 , when you go into SteamVR, what is your current primary audio device. Is it a USB driver or the Nvidia driver. Typically the Nvidia driver will work better in most cases. You can also go into window's "sound" and under devices, disable the USB driver device leaving only the Nvidia option. See if that helps.

HackPerception Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 , is there not a Nvidia audio option for the Pro under "sounds"? Have you hidden audio devices been the first screenshot and the second? It looks like you're using the USB driver which some report as being less reliable than the Nvidia driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidarwindir Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hello, i fixed it by reinstalled the graphics card driver. Everything working now. Thanks for the support! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 , thanks for posting your progress. Out of curiosity, did the graphics card update provide an an Nvidia audio option for the Vive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidarwindir Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yes it did. But there's more: When i exit steam vr and relaunch it, it won't detect the vive output anymore. I have to power cycle the link box to get it recognized again. I also disabled the usb audio driver because if i launch the steamvr with the above mentioned problem, my ears get schocked. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestaticon Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 At this stage after release of the Pro, this issue seems very consistant and easy to reproduce. (see all the previous audio issue threads) In the past, it has been stated (Vive in general, so I am assuming it is the same for Pro) that the USB audio would be the better choice overall because it has better audio processing (better positional audio if I remember right). Since we keep getting pointed to using the HDMI/displayport audio as a workaround (note, it should be considered a workaround when the other option is broken), can you confirm that someone is actively working on an actual solution to the problem? The issue discribed here by is shared by most who have the overall issues with the Vive Pro's audio; whether they realize it is another question. Due to the small user base, the even smaller amount of users who actually post feedback, and the even smaller amount who can pool all this feedback together and see the common threads, my worry is that this issue is being ignored or, worse, abandoned. Can you say, with certanty, that the audio troubles on the Pro is being worked on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidarwindir Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 I really hope that this issue won't be ignored. I removed the vive pros speakers and started using normal headphones with an usb soundcard on the usb-c port of the vive. Works flawless. (Anybody remeber the vive without das? lol) I don't want to miss the picture quality of the vive pro but from sound i'd love to see/hear something like the samsung headset. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmsimpson Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 With my Vive Pro, with any newer Nvidia driver other than 391.35 I have a terrible time getting the Vive Pro nvidia high definition audio option to show up. I have to troubleshoot audo, etc. to get it into the drop down list. Even then sometimes when it shows up I get no sound. I spent all day yesterday trying to get newer Nvidia drivers to work, with no luck. Finally gave up and reinstalled 391.35 and boom. The option is back and everything is normal. When I turn on Steam VR, I get the option every time. For anyone having this problem, you may want to try a driver rollback to that revision. Vive tech support, maybe there is a clue in that driver to what was changed to why everyone has this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
