* Must add a Mute Music in Home
* Must add a Disable HMD Sensor auto start Home - only way I can close is with kill tasks!


In the Home menu (left Touch menu button) there is an audio slider for the music in Settings/Audio.


Yes but it is a master volume for all your PC audio meaning it lowers your game volume. Quite useless really as games do have their own volume levels and we can set our desktop volumes already. That music needs a Mute.
Sure it goes off when you focus on a game etc. but whilst I must select Rift Audio on my desktop for launching a game from there rather than within Home, it will continue playing in my Rift unless I reselect another soundcard for audio speakers afterwards due to the fact for me I can never close Home unless I Kill Tasks as the HMD Sensor is always restarting Home upon Closing (even though its not on my head and nothing is in the way of the sensor).


No, it isn't. Look in the HOME menu (left Touch menu button), not the Dash menu (right Touch menu button). The Audio settings there are specific to the Home environment. There are two sliders, one for music and one for sound effects.

When using the new beta,
I have a few strange issues which DO NOT happen when I go into settings and
tell it to use the 'Classic Home' version.



1) Closing Oculus Home will often cause it to restart
immediately and repeatedly, the only way to keep it closed is by clicking the
close button (X in top right corner) before it loads completely, and that may
take several attempts.



2) This one I can’t work out how or why. On a semi-regular
basis, my task bar will become completely transparent/disappear with the
exception of a line along the top. Restarting Oculus Home or toggling 'Classic
Version' can fix this problem so it seems related to Oculus Home in some way.



3) From time to time in my notifications sections I get a
warning saying my Oculus is not working correctly.



Again, none of these are a problem when I use the Classic
Version toggle in settings.

I like the new desktop app, it’s a shame using the new
version in VR is so problematic for me at present.



I am using a GeForce 970 with drivers 388.31

Dual monitor setup with a 30" main and 24" secondary

Intel 6700k in an ASUS Maximus VIII Hero (Latest Bios)

Windows 10 installed on a SSD

Oculus Home and games/apps installed on a HHD (E Drive)



Hope this helps the devs.


Edit: Forgot to mention:

I reported the first issue in the 1.21 thread aswell.

Im using a 3 sensor setup, 2 on the ceiling and one on top of my PC at present.

I also get issues 1&3 after last update, it seems way more unstable.
