I’m curious, how many people are aware of these sounds. I have designed, etched, and built my own switching power supplies along with winding my own transformers. I am aware of the source of the noise. So, does anyone else hear these high frequency sounds regularly?
I still don’t get why the lighthouses can’t be turned on/off via SteamVR. There’s no reason they should stay running if I’m not actively in VR, and with the amount of noise they create, I have to imagine it’s negatively impacting their lifespan.
One of these days, I’ll get a smart plug for them, but I really shouldn’t need to imo.
You can.
You have to enable Bluetooth in the SteamVR Settings, and they’ll automatically turn off when you quit VR, and back in when you start it up again. Only downside is (at least for me) when you don’t use it for a longer time the connection seems to drop, and they won’t turn on automatically anymore. But nothing that can’t be fixed with a quick un- and replug
