Steam vr not detecting oculus quest 2

I have steamvr initialized and am using a quest 2 with a link cable (usb 2.0) and have everything setup perfectly.

Errors I get:

On start it says failed to enable developer mode.

On quit it says failed to disable developer mode.

Warnings I get:

Steam 109 error saying that steam isnt initialised when it very well is.

Please Check steam is installed.

Output:

In the editor everything displays correctly but in the quest its just a black screen.

do you have the rift s software installed?

I have downloaded the 1.19.7 update because SteamVR wasn't working. I have tried reinstalling it (as the app requested) twice and it still can't detect my headset.
I play with Oculus Quest 2 and through Virtual Desktop (Trying to play Beat Saber).
Hoping anyone can help...

Also instead of virtual desktop, have you tried the actual Airlink?

Have you got a cable to rule out any wireless issues, it would go a big way into diagnosing the issue (wireless can bring a whole host of issues to get around).

I don't have the cable it comes with (my pc doesn't have usb c input) but I have used a usbc-usb 2 cable and still not been able to detect it through steamvr

It does not need to be usb c on your computer, you can happily use a usb c to A cable, but is has to be USB 3.0 not 2.0 so your cable will not work. You also really need a 3-5gb usb 3.0 cable as you can get slower ones.

I don't know what I did, but I've managed to run my games now. The Oculus hud looks new, so it might've been an update that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me over.

Glad it is working now :)

How do I get SteamVR to recognize Oculus 2?

Connect one side of the USB cable to the appropriate port on your PC. Connect the other side to your Oculus Quest/Quest 2. The Oculus app on your computer should recognize the Oculus Quest once it's plugged in. Click Continue on the screen that pops up to enable Oculus Link.

Why is my computer not detecting my Oculus Quest 2?

To fix Oculus Quest 2 not connecting to PC, you can try a reboot. Step 1: Restart your PC and open Oculus App. Step 2: Restart Quest 2. Step 3: Connect the USB cable to a USB 3.0 port on a PC and connect another end to your headset.

Can the Oculus Quest 2 connect to SteamVR?

You can get it here, listed as a download for Air Link and Link Cable. Oculus Link also works with SteamVR, so make sure to download Steam and install SteamVR if you want to play any of that content.

Why doesn't SteamVR recognize my headset?

Do the following steps to troubleshoot the issue: Close all Steam apps on your computer, including the SteamVR app. Unplug the link box cables (HDMI and USB) from your computer, as well as its power cable from an electric outlet. Wait for a few seconds, and then plug the cables back in.
