A couple problems I see:

  • Quiet sound is due to the 3.5mm jack not outputting enough power to drive the headphones, getting an in-line AMP/DAC combo could really help.
  • 3.5mm port is audio only so there is absolutely no microphone support that I know of. This is the same issue that was had on the Quest 1 and the Rift S as well. Thankfully there are 2 onboard mics so getting a small fuzzy wind-cover to stick over the top could marginally improve sound quality of the existing microphones.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 😀
