Stuttering audio (OGG/WAV/Voice) with Oculus Runtime

Knifa commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug

Voice output stutters pretty badly with the Oculus runtime, but ONLY voice. Other audio types seem to be unaffected. Even messages have it.

Seems to happen even if the desktop audio device is selected (i.e., my regular headphone output) so not something headset related, at least for me.

Using -SteamVR fixes it it right away in all circumstances.

Relevant issues

I couldn't find any!

To Reproduce

Start NeosVR with the Oculus Runtime.
Try to listen to any voice (i.e., a voice message or anyone).
Notice stuttering.
Start NeosVR with the SteamVR runtime.
Notice no stuttering.

Expected behavior

No stuttering.

Do you have an Audio Output Device selected in Settings in Neos when this happens? Or is it set to default?

Does it happen to everyone's voice?
What if you record your own voice with the microphone tool and play it back?
What if someone else records their own voice with the microphone tool and you play it?

It turns out I did have an audio device selected! It affects everyone's voice.

With SteamVR, everything is normal as expected.

With Oculus:

With audio device set to default, everything is normal as expected.
With audio device set to something specific, audio player things seem to stutter (i.e., WAVs and OGGs brought in, or recording myself with the microphone tool) but also players voices and voice messages
...HOWEVER the second I spawn something that uses the video player (like an MP3, MP4, etc..) stuttering goes away for everything including those audio players that previously stuttered, voices messages, etc. The video player content also has no stuttering.

I think I was mistaken originally when I said that it only affects voice since when I tested it the first time I was testing it with MP3s and videos brought in, vs. voice messages, not the little audio players. Sorry!

This may be related to #2053 and I believe is a regression from the changes implemented in 2021.4.17.185.

Should be fixed in 2021.4.24.620 now, thanks for report!
