Does Audio Radar work with VR games?
No, Audio Radar is not directly compatible with VR headsets because it requires LED light bars to be mounted on a monitor or TV to display visual audio cues. Since VR games are played through a headset, there is no suitable mounting location for the light bars, making direct integration with VR impractical.
Can Audio Radar Be Used Alongside VR?
While it cannot be used within the VR headset itself, there is an alternative:
Relay VR Footage to a Monitor
- If you mirror your VR gameplay to a monitor or TV with Audio Radar connected, others watching your gameplay can still see the sound cues displayed on the light bars.
- This setup enhances the viewing experience for spectators, even though the VR player themselves will not see the visual audio cues.
- If using this monitor relay method on PC, you may need Voicemeeter to route audio to both your VR headset and Audio Radar simultaneously.

Conclusion
Audio Radar is not compatible with VR headsets, but it can still be used to display sound cues for spectators when gameplay is mirrored to a monitor. PC users can use Voicemeeter to manage multiple audio outputs.
