Since these depend on Windows itself, I don't think there will be an easy (or even possible) workaround.

Sad news, because these are cheap, high-res, fast to set up, easy to use and generally very decent headsets. Controllers are not top of the class, but good enough for almost anything. Ideal for people interested in tipping their toes into proper PCVR.

The secret ingredient is ~~crime~~ slave labor.

The soldier is standing on a pedestal.

They aren't refueling during the 1990 pit stop though.
