 ## Hardware note
 
-WiVRn PC XR to WiVRn PC client streaming remains mainly for debug use.
-
-Vive Pro microphones should be set to use 44.1khz sample rates as feeding in 48khz raises the pitch of the audio.
-
-Vive Pro creates HDMI Output Source after startup of SteamVR/Monado/etc. Use it instead of Vive Pro USB Audio Source, since the audio might appear distorted.
-
-Valve index audio output should be set to 48khz or no audio will output.
-
-Vive Pro Eye HMD functional, eyechip WIP.
-
-Pimax initialization code WIP. Distortion matrix dump work in progress.
-
-Eyetrack VR and Project Babble will both be implemented through [oscavmgr](https://github.com/galister/oscavmgr) to emit proper unified flexes over OSC.
-
-Tracking technologies can be mixed Monado/WiVRn by using [motoc](https://github.com/galister/motoc).
-
-Having Ultraleap packages installed causes Monado to not compile.
+- WiVRn PC XR to WiVRn PC client streaming remains mainly for debug use.
+- **Vive Pro** microphones should be set to use 44.1khz sample rates as feeding in 48khz raises the pitch of the audio.
+- **Vive Pro** creates HDMI Output Source after startup of SteamVR/Monado/etc. Use it instead of Vive Pro USB Audio Source, since the audio might appear distorted.
+- **Valve Index** audio output should be set to 48khz or no audio will output.
+- **Valve Index** may bug out once per boot, resulting in VR refusing to start, or your DE seeing it as a normal monitor. Just unplug and replug the barrel connector that provides power to the HMD.
+- **Vive Pro Eye** HMD functional, eyechip WIP.
+- **Pimax** initialization code WIP. Distortion matrix dump work in progress.
