If you don’t hear any sound, or are having trouble with your mic when using Oculus Link, make sure that your software is up to date and that the volume is not muted on the device and computer. Next, check the audio input and output sources for both your headset and on your PC.

To check the audio input and output for your Oculus Quest:

1. Open the Oculus app on your computer
2. Click Devices in the left side menu and then select Quest and Touch
3. Below Audio Output in VR, make sure your Quest is selected.

To check the audio input and output for your PC:

1. Click the Speaker icon in the task bar in the bottom right part of your screen.
2. Click the ^ arrow to open a list of audio devices connected to your computer.
3. Check that your audio and mic are both set to Oculus Virtual Audio Device

Additionally, if you are using any third party VR software on you PC, make sure that Oculus Virtual Audio Device is set as your audio input and output source there as well.

We’re aware of an issue where Oculus Link fails to connect compatible laptop models to Quest.

From your headset, you may see a brief black screen before being returned to your Quest home. On your computer, within the Devices tab you may consistently see an orange “General device problem” error.

When entering this state for the first time, sometimes you will also see a notification on your PC: “Hardware Notification: Something went wrong and Oculus Link stopped working”.

We’ve isolated this issue to laptops using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10xx series notebook GPUs and are actively working with our partners to get a fix in place. Until a more permanent fix is ready, restarting your PC can often fix the issue temporarily.

If you’re still having trouble with Oculus Link after restarting your computer, please contact Customer Support for additional troubleshooting.

Certain Oculus Rift and Oculus Rift S apps aren't compatible with Oculus Quest + Oculus Link. Over time, we'll improve the visibility of headset compatibility and ensure it is clear which hardware will work with which apps.

Developers reserve the right to enable compatibility and may not opt-in to supporting Oculus Quest via Oculus Link.

Please review our official software release notes for any future updates.

Applications such as SCRCPY will reduce the performance of Oculus Link. During the beta period, Oculus Link doesn't support applications and software that capture/record video.

If you're unable to capture video of your VR content, make sure that you've chosen your CPU as your Video processing device.

If you're using your own USB 3.0 cable for Oculus Link, please make sure that your cable meets the Oculus Link Cable Requirements.

If you’re using a USB 3 cable in a USB 3 port but it’s being seen as USB 2, try the following steps:

• If you’re using a USB A → USB C adapter, make sure that it supports USB 3.
• • Some adapters are only USB 3 if the USB cable is seated in the adapter in one direction. The other may be USB 2.
• If you’re using a USB C → USB C cable, try unseating and re-seating the cable into the port using different orientations, as some ports may only see USB 3 in certain orientations.
• If you’re using a PCI-E card, make sure that the cable is fully inserted by unseating and re-seating it.

We're using this beta period to continue to test, iterate and validate Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We plan to support more GPUs by the end of the beta period.

For more information on compatibility, check our Supported GPUs for Oculus Link Beta.

If your 're having trouble getting your computer to see or recognize Oculus Link: try reinstalling the update on your computer. You can do this with the Oculus driver file, which can be found using the following path: c:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-drivers\oculus-driver.exe.

If you still can't enable Oculus Link after updating your software, you can try:

• If you don't see Add Quest as the device on the PC software: log out of the PC software and log back in.
• If you don't see the Enable Link pop-up on the PC software: log out of the PC software and log back in.
• If you don't see the Enable Link option under Settings on Quest: completely power off the headset and restart it.

If you continue to encounter issues setting up Oculus Link, please contact Oculus Support directly.
