Oculus CV1 integrated headphones in ED

[Khaldur]

Just received my Oculus Rift CV1.

One of it's great advantages over my old DK2 are the integrated headphones. But how do I get ED to play the sound through those?
No matter what I choose in the settings, it uses the monitor's speakers.

I am starting ED with the normal ED launcher, not in Oculus Home. Probably the obvious solution would be to start the game in Oculus Home instead but I'd really like to avoid downloading the whole game again. Everything else works fine using the ED launcher.

You can't change the default speakers in windows to be the rift speakers?

This. You have to change the default device to the rift speakers in Windows playback devices. Right click the speaker icon in the system tray to see it.

windows button, search "sound"

select rift as default, bobs your uncle.

also change the microphone to default if you want to use that for Voice attack or chat...

Thanks all, that did it. Somehow it just didn't appear to me to look at Windows settings instead of in game or in Oculus home.

If you launch it through Steam VR, in the Steam VR settings you can specify the device to switch to for VR, and you can also mirror it to your usual speakers which is handy.

When you drop out of Steam VR, audio settings revert to what they were before
