PICO 4 no audio #2454

Open bushibot opened 1 month ago

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)

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.

You have to initially set the alvr audio device as the default to get any audio. And yes, exposing it through flatpak is also required

Are there steps for this? I don’t see any listed? So every time someone wants to use alvr they need to manually change the audio device (in system setting?) to make alvr the default and then revert it back to play normally. Is that correct?
