498 INDEX SACRIFICES LEFT...

She finally kicked the bucket, well done soldier, you got me through some insane times and gave me a lot of laughs, but its time for you to rest. (I suppose...)

I dont really have any words, but thank you.

(Idk why im making this post i literally have it due for RMA in like a week lol)

I did not have these issues until today, but for some reason my index's speakers no longer produce any audio, and might not even be detected properly as an audio device?

My Specs:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

RAM: 16 GB 6400 MHz

OS: Windows 10 Education Version 22H2 (before anyone asks, it does not automatically install shit like Candy Crush which is nice)

AMD Driver version 26.6.4

What I've tried:

- Reinstalling SteamVR

- Uninstalling all SteamVR devices in device manager and letting windows reinstall drivers

- Unplugging my headset from my computer and from the outlet, and plugging back in

- restarting

- pretty much every possible combination of the above

- Updating AMD GPU drivers

- Uninstalling AMD GPU drivers with DDU and reinstalling

- Swapping to a different available audio device and then back

- Disabling other audio devices

- Putting the index in a different usb port

I have basically done everything I could think of doing, short of either updating my BIOS or reinstalling Windows. If this is a known issue, I would not mind rolling back AMD drivers either.

Other things I thought were of note while I was troubleshooting:

- The display, tracking, and microphone all otherwise work fine, but when I have my audio output set to my index, there is no sound, and for some reason the microphone also stops working.

\- If I have the output set to my computer's speakers, the microphone works as normal, and there is of course sound from my computer speakers.

- The index audio output device is listed on my computer as "Index HMD (AMD High Definition Audio Device)"

\- This audio device *only* exists and is selectable on windows while SteamVR is running (*I'm pretty sure I used to always be able to select it?*) It also appears in Device Manager while SteamVR is running

\- the "*AMD High Definition Audio Device*" label is also shared with my regular monitors that appear as selectable audio outputs, which makes me think my issue is connected to some kind of **AMD driver fuckery.**

- Device manager also shows a "Digital Audio Interface (Valve VR Radio & HMD Mic)" as a separate device. This device does not show up as an audio output in settings, but it does show up as an input for the headset microphone, even when SteamVR is not running. I am not sure if this is normal, I feel that I was able to select this device as an output before and cannot anymore for some reason, but I am not sure.

Also, I am careful about how I store my index and loop my cables so I highly doubt this is a hardware issue, but I also am at a breaking point trying to figure out what's wrong with my index and/or my computer.

I know they dont sell the pack anymore I can only find the left one for sale by itself. Will they ever restock them?

As the title says, sometimes when I go away from my PC to go piss or something, I come back to the Index as a 3rd monitor, screens on and green LEDs lit, just showing a non stabilised desktop view like a monitor. I have direct mode on but it still does it every couple of weeks. Running AMD drivers, CPU and GPU if that's important.

Anyone got the same issue and has a fix apart from enabling direct mode? It used to happen back when I bought it sometimes, but now years later it started doing it again.

So, last year I switched to a Valve Index after my old HTC Vive died. And while it is pretty fun to use, I noticed one very annoying issue I can't seem to fix. For some reason, the screen seem to reflect itself on the lens in front of it, making everything thats slightly bright completly blurry. I tried lowering the brightness in hope it won't reflect as much, but it didn't make a difference. Unless my in-game environment is completly dark, I can barely see anything and it feels like I have fog on my lens.

Is there any way I can fix this? I dont wanna open it, because im too afraid of breaking something (I haven't finished my technic yet), but idk if there are any other solutions to fix the blurriness.

Edit: would like to change my question since I realize this is commonly asked, but will the 3D or surround sound audio be worse in terms of realism if I use another headset?

One side of the headphones broke and now it’s odd listening on one side but not the other, especially with the weight imbalance.

Is there a way to remove both headphones to use my own custom one? Thanks.

My index controllers are having issues and i dont want to have no controllers when sending them back to have them fixed, and i wouldnt have to worry much about that if i had backups (i dont), it would be super convenient if i could use any quest controllers without having to use the quest headset, and can connect it to my index and it would still work and track like a normal controller, it would also save money incase people dont want to order new controllers but want the headset

just please i dont know how hard this would be but it would solve a lot of problems

So my friend gave me his Valve Index that he never used and is brand new but before I open it up and actually set it up I was wondering about some issues that the Index had. I've heard some stuff about it like it being very fragile and I would like to know what issues it had to pretty much just prevent myself from breaking the headset, controllers, and/or base stations

I have a signed valve index vr kit signed by Gaben. Where would be a good place to sell this to people who would really appreciate it?
