Audio Quality Poor when you leave VR mode on Quest #2121

Open emclaren opened 4 years ago

emclaren commented 4 years ago

Description When using Oculus Browser on Quest, when I leave VR mode to change my avatar, or the scene, the audio quality drops considerably. To the point where its difficult to understand the conversation at all. This is likely due to the device having to render the browser & the oculus home screen; however, perhaps there are other optimizations that can be done in Hubs to improve audience performance when in this mode.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open room with other people on Quest
  2. Exit VR mode
  3. hear the voices crackling, particularly on busy scenes.

Expected behavior It would be nice if the voices stayed clear.

Screenshots NA

Hardware Quest Oculus Browser

on mobile VR, given the new menu UX, it may make sense to just stop rendering, since we no longer can even see the rendered frame.
