Issue with background audio pausing

coldbricks

I use a pico 4 and I loved playing music with VLC. now, every time a video plays on deovr the VLC player stops the music.. I have to exit deovr to go back to VLC and hit play again. Is there a way it can still allow background audio?! This is so annoying!! Thanks!

Any luck??

Hey. Could you please explain how this works. You have both apps running on the headset at the same time?

coldbricks

yes!

When using quest 3 not linked to pc, if you have deovr playing it would instantly pause background music from meta browser and any other general browser source.

Sheenaflores Do you have Pico 4?
What is your DeoVR app version?

I ended up just installing and using Poweramp on my Quest 3 which seems to be working OK. Of course, this is notwithstanding the issues that the latest version(s) of DeoVR have presented. Stability issues, display/centering issues, etc. A few things going on here...but the audio was no longer a factor after I changed to Poweramp.
