Thought I would post to help others. I have been working on how to get Roon working on Meta Quest 3. First, anytime you do anything like this with the meta quest you do run the risk of causing issues with your headset that may require a factory reset. I prefer to say that upfront - however, I haven’t run into any issues yet. The steps are:
- Follow instructions to install sidequest using app on computer. Use usb cable.
- Go through and accept any messages on the quest as needed.
- Download apk for Roon ARC
- Install using sidequest.
- You’ll see Roon Arc in Apps > Unknown Sources
- Using Sidequest on quest headset, search and install chrome - do this because I couldn’t get the authentication web pop to work with quest browser.
- You may need to close chrome and reopen. You need to get the set default browser question in chrome. approve when you do
- Go to Arc on quest headset. Open, accept any requests. Try to login. You’ll get chrome pop. Login on to Roon Website.
- You’ll then be passed back to the Arc App.
- Choose to connect to your Roon server.
- Use Roon arc as normal. Orientation and size is similar to cellphone on meta quest.
- The best part is you can listen to music, login to horizon worlds, and hear other people along with the music. Others can’t hear your music.
- If you want to use chrome as default, you are good. If you want to switch back to the meta browser, then consider uninstalling the chrome browser.
Some additional thoughts - the default volume settings are pretty close to being useful. I think the volume of the music needs to be decreased which doesn’t appear to be possible with arc. I am going to try the remote apk as well to see if I can get these controls.
