PC VR: the sound no longer stays silent until the emulator is restarted.

Virtual Desktop takes its playback device ("Virtual Desktop Audio") out of Windows whenever the headset is not being streamed to, and puts it back afterwards. The emulator's sound stayed on the device that had gone, silent and without an error. Now the sound follows its device: a few seconds after the device went away it plays on Windows' default device, and a few seconds after the device is back, on it again.

  • The log (pc-vr\user\log\shad_log.txt) says which sound devices come and go.
  • An emulator crash leaves its call stack in the log.
  • Not changed: the microphone.

The Quest app is the same as 0.12 (version 13), rebuilt from this source.

Tested by taking a playback device out of Windows and putting it back while the game plays (tools/pc-audio-device-test.sh); not yet tried with a headset over Virtual Desktop.
