Oculus - Cannot get audio out of its headphones?

I cannot seem to get ED's audio out of the Oculus' headphones? Instead it seems to come out of my standard head phones (speakers)?

With the Oculus on, I get the audio... Then tell ED to run, and I can then see it, but no sound!

Bit rubbish you have to nursemaid it? Why can't it do it automatically like every other application/game?

Yeah a bit annoying when not playing games from oculus home, but at least it`s pretty fast to switch in windows 10

Yeah.
Unless you have the oculus headphones set as windows default you only get sound in them when running the programs natively through home.

So if you are running ed through standard launcher the HMD need to be set and windows default.

This seem broken since the last update, at least for me. Time for a bug report i suppose.

This. Had to reinstall for update since I was getting that where is was saying my antivirus was blocking the install even though it was turned off AND had added it as an exception. Now, no matter if I run it from oculus home both from within the VR app, and the desktop oculus window. Have the setting in oculus enabled to play VR app sounds in headset and have the option enabled in elite for HMD+ headphones but it refuses to play in the headset unless I manually make it the default speaker. Other oculus apps work just fine, and this one used to.

I recommend installing the Oculus tray tool. It allows you to change the windows default audio settings automatically depending on whether OH is active or not. And it has a lot of other useful features, too.
