PICO 4 no audio

[bushibot]

Description

After much mucking about my ALVR to steam started working (magic, no idea what changed), however I have one more issue which is no audio on the Pico 4 headset. Video seems to be working fine. I don't see any error messages in the log regarding video (and I yes I checked it make sure it wasn't turned off on the headset). Tried multiple games including steam home.

I verified pipwire is installed. pipewire is already the newest version (1.0.2~1707732619~22.04~b8b871b)

General Troubleshooting

• [ ] I carefully followed the instructions in the README and successfully completed the setup wizard
• [ ] I read the ALVR GitHub Wiki

I'm having the same issue. The logs print out "Pipewire error: Creation failed" constantly. I'm on Arch Linux, just installed this today. I think it might be related to the Flatpak not having permissions to use Pipewire, but I haven’t tested it yet.
