How to fix Beat Saber PS VR2 audio lag issues

by

When playing the PlayStation VR2 version of Beat Saber, you may notice that there is a bit of audio lag. Having close to zero latency is important in a music game as the smallest of delay will through you off of your rhythm.

To see how you can fix the audio delay problem in Beat Saber for PS VR2, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

Before doing anything else, we recommend checking to see if you are also experiencing audio lag in other games as well. If you are, then you may have a general issue with how your PlayStation 5 and/or PlayStation VR2 are set up.

For the best lag free experience, avoid using any HDMI splitters and/or pass-through devices when connecting your console to the screen. You should also avoid using any USB splitters, extenders and/or pass-through devices when connecting the PlayStation VR2 headset to your console.

It is also important to note that wired connections are better than wireless ones when it comes to latency. So, if you are using wireless earphones or headphones, then you can use an audio cable to connect to the headphone jack of the PlayStation VR2 instead if possible.

If you are still getting noticeable lag, then you can use the in-game menu of Beat Saber to adjust the latency. You can do so by taking the following steps:

1. To start off, you need to head to the mode selection menu.

2. From that screen, you need to select the gear icon located at the bottom.

3. You should now be in the Options menu. Here, you need to select Settings.

4. From the Settings menu, select the Audio tab.

5. After getting to the Audio tab, make sure that the Override Audio Latency setting is turned on.

6. You should now see the Audio Latency Slider, which has the following description:

  • “This setting can help you compensate on audio delay of your sound system. Adjust the latency value to sync audio with video. Always use your headset to do this calibration.”

If you haven’t done so already, make sure you turn on your listening device and then wear your virtual reality headset. Afterwards, adjust the slider until the audio matches the marker when it is hitting the middle and outer edges.

Hopefully, you should no longer hear any audio lag when playing through the music stages in the PlayStation VR2 version of Beat Saber.

This can be noticeable if you are trying to slash at notes downwards or to the left/right on the outer edges of the screen. To see how you can potentially fix these tracking issues with this music rhythm, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. We noticed that the tracking problems became more prominent during a recent system update for the PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, you aren’t able to revert the firmware as you will need the latest one in order to play PS VR2 games like Beat Saber.

Instead, you should check to see if there is newer system software update available by going to the PS5’s Settings menu and then selecting System > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

Afterwards, turn on your PlayStation VR2 and PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers to see if these need to be updated as well. If they do, then make sure you do so. Hopefully, the new firmware will fix your tracking issues.

  • Next, scroll all the way down and then select Other Settings.

Therefore, try to make sure that your room is brightly lit. With that said, try to avoid staring at overly bright light sources as these may blind the tracking cameras of the headset.

5. If the internal batteries of the Left and Right PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers get too low, then it may cause the tracking to not work properly. You can check the batter status of these accessories by pressing the PS button to open the Control Center quick menu.

From there, scroll down to the bottom menu and then to the side until you see the PS VR2 Sense Controllers icon.

If you see one or no bars, then we recommend that you fully charge the controllers before you play Beat Saber again.

6. Last but not least, you should make sure that the tracking camera lens of your virtual reality headset aren’t covered up or dirty. You should also inspect the two Sense controllers as well as they shouldn’t be covered up or dirtied.
