Microphone support and new convenient features

Another new feature is the ability to set volume and microphone sensitivity directly in control panel or in the program Oculus for PC.
No improvement for users of Rift
Informed operating system of the Rift and firmware Quest was supposed to be the same version to Oculus Link worked flawlessly. In the past this has always led to problems because the updates do not always appear simultaneously for both platforms.
Update 14.0 Oculus cancels this rule: the operating system of the Rift and firmware Quest should no longer have the same version number. However, the two versions of the software should be one within the other version.
Example: Link will work when installed on the Quest software version 14, and for PC installed software version 15, or PC software installed version 14, and software Quest have version 13. It will not work if the Quest is on version 13 and PC version 15, or Vice versa.
Therefore, the users Quest should have no problems after installing Update 14.0 Rift, even if Quest Update 14.0 is not yet released.
The update also fixes several bugs and improves the stability of PC connection. Full list of improvements can be found on the Oculus forum .
