we can't find your headset please connect your headset

Hello, I get an error "we can not find your headset please connect your headset"
Every time when I'm in something I play with different periodicity, sometimes 3 times per minute, sometimes 1 every 5 minutes.

All wires tried I rearrange, all usb 3.0, hdmi too tried to rearrange to another. It does not help all the same error appears.
When an error occurs runs 10-15 seconds and restores everything. This greatly angers.

pls, help how to fix it

 I get this problem too. Usually when I take the headset off while an app is playing it will come up with that headset missing error, please reconnect. The window on my computer shows the app is still running, as is the head tracking. Moving around the rift in space will cause the window to move, but no video is displayed in the lenses. I do stivvll have audio. I have to shut down the app and restart it for it to work again. Leaving any app after I had this error fixes the problem once I return to the Oculus Home.

You can try opening a ticket with Oculus Support so they can troubleshoot with you futher, and see what they can do to help.

Same here! A year from launch and still driver issues. I tried everything I've read about this problem without success yet.

"periodicity"??!! Nice one! 😄

I've had this since building a new rig - first time it started working okay again after I had checked the connections (one at the headset end was suspect) - after contacting support.
Started again this morning and no amount of jiggling and reinserting plugs would get it recognised - but reinstalling the latest nVidia driver did.

I'm not sure about this, it could be a couple things. I'd recommend submitting a support ticket.

Same here. Cold reboot usually helps. How heavy are the Rift and sensors on power consumption? Could it be a power issue.
