Quest3 V59 mic quiet now! (2024)

Hi, I've noticed after update v59 the michophone is too quiet. When I'm recording a video inside a game cant't hear me.

Some people complained about mic loud before and now its too quiet. We should control the mic volume by ourselves directly in the options menu.

Cheers!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to jump in here and hopefully point some users in the right direction. By the looks of it, this is something that seems related to this other thread hereabout the microphone recording not being loud enough. With that being said, I will be locking this thread so that we're able to keep all information under one place where our internal team can find it.

Thank you everyone!

Hello, I think the problem is general. When you record a gameplay and you are talking the result is a video with a loud game sounds and very quite mic record.

Multiplayer chatting is working properly, so is not physical must be software, before 59 everything worl

Please could you check what Iam talking?

Thanks,

Alvaro

Hello @KaNeMore! Thank you for clarifying your audio issue while recording gameplay. We know it's no fun to not be able to use our devices to their full capacity. While we do some further investigation into the root of the problem, we want to recommend that you use the Report a Problem feature in the quick settings of the headset if you haven't already. Please let us know if you get any updates in the meantime! Hope you have a great rest of your day.

Same issue here. Worked great before, suddenly (as of mid-December 2023) my mic records too low in everything. The mic itself seems functional, as friends reported no issues during voice chat. I've done all troubleshooting, save for a factory reset (as I'd prefer to avoid that given the issue seems to have arisen due to an update). Please fix this, Meta, so I don't have to do a full reset!

Terrible timing for this, too, as I was just about to record Asgard's Wrath 2 gameplay for my channel. 😞
