Vive Pro 2 - headphone hum and buzz, no steamVR motion smoothing, no 120hz wireless

Dear Vive,

The right headphone makes a horrible buzzing/static sound all the time, rendering the headset unusable without external headphones - headset is on its own surge protector - can this be fixed or is it RMA time? Everyone on reddit is experiencing this to some degree.

Will steamVR motion smoothing be supported? I cannot run most things with a 3090 with this headset

Will 120hz wireless ever be supported with the vive pro wireless kit?

Thank you.

Respectfully yours

Their inhouse motion smoothing has been there since the Vive Cosmos release. And HTC even renamed the "Vive Cosmos" forums to "Vive Console Software" (./forum/83-vive-cosmos to ./forum/83-vive-console-software) to consolidate HMDs that run under their software. So I wouldn't hold my breath expecting Valve's motion smoothing to become an option.

You're absolutely right, I naively assumed that their own smoothing would only be used for wireless streaming to cosmos, but no.

I also posted this on Vive forums for the Vive Pro 2

Lots of ppl are reporting the right humming sound already, but some of them are hearing in both ears. That’s kinda weird

But speaking with motion smoothing, if you already have 3090, I can hardly pictured in which games u will need motion smoothing except for the MFS.

Many games. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean others do not. IL-2, DCS, MSFS, and many others all require MS to work properly for most players.

This is working great for me with DCS and MSFS.

I realize you said most, but I don't understand why people want motion smoothing in msfs? For me when I turn my head the pillars get all wobly and things like rain or lightning are awful.

All of them at a good res for 120hz sadly (full games, like racing and flying sims, Pavlov at ultra, Asgard wrath, MOH beyond, homeworks etc)
