Unity Meta Quest MR Experience: Microphone not detected

Hi all - I followed the convai tutorial for the MR integration using the Meta Quest 3 (Building for MR | Documentation).

Unfortunately, when launching the app on the headset, it says there is no microphone detected. I checked all settings and it looks like the MIC is enabled on the device. Anyone facing a similar issue and/or can support here?

Hello @florian.mathis,

Welcome to the Convai Developer Forum!

Make sure you allow microphone permissions.

Did that. Done that. Where can I doublecheck this?

You can double-check this in the App Settings on your Quest device.
Also, in the Convai app, press the Primary button on the Left Controller to open the Settings Panel. If the microphone doesn’t appear under Microphone Devices, the required permissions likely haven’t been granted.

This issue is typically local to your setup. Please ensure everything is properly configured, try restarting the device, and reinstall the application if necessary.

The app settings on the Quest device does not show mic permissions? So it looks like it is not requested by the app itself? Is there a bug in convai`s MR automatic template?

Thank you for your question.

This doesn’t appear to be an issue related directly to Convai. So far, we haven’t encountered such a case with the MR automatic template. It’s possible that the behavior is related to your specific setup or project settings.

Please double-check the App Permissions for your Quest application. I recommend:

  • Ensuring microphone permission is explicitly requested in the Android Manifest.
  • Rebuilding your project from scratch to rule out build issues.
  • Verifying permission settings directly on the Quest device.

You may also want to refer to Oculus/Meta developer documentation or forums for general guidance on handling mic permissions with MR projects on Quest.
