The Meta Quest pro cost a whopping $1500 and it is now having a Mic Popping issue. Although meta has confirmed that they are working on it and maybe they will fix it on their next update.
Right now a lot of creators are suffering from the Quest Pro Mic popping sound while they are streaming, as it hurts their audience’s ears when they say the letter “P” or “B” and that feels like actual wind hitting the microphone diaphragm.
While the Mic issue was bothering me, I tried to increase the Quest Pro Sound and found success.
Until the problem gets fixed officially with an update, here’s what you can do.
Update
Update your Quest pro if you haven’t done yet, sometimes the latest updates are meant to fix a lot of software issues along with glitches and bugs.
Check the ports
Headphones: Check the ports of your headphones as 90% of the time the popping sound is created by a faulty headphone jack.
Connect that same headphone with another device and see if it is okay or not. If you see no issues with the headphone jack, then the problem is probably with the headphone port of the headset.
Headset: To check the headphone jack port, connect multiple headphones, even the wireless ones. If the issue is still not fixed, then there are two conclusions about this matter.
The headphone jack port is okay and the problem is with the sound system which can only be fixed by a software update.
Use a good Headphone
There are a lot of compatible headphones that you can use with your headset, maybe you can borrow one from your friend and test if it is still the same even if you use a high-end headphone.
