    How do i stop my ps5 dualsense controller connecting to my pc as an audio device?


    I am trying to play games with my ps5 controller however when i connect the controller to my pc with a wire it keeps connecting as an audio device and doesn't let me use the controller in games. The device previously worked fine but now it wont let me play any games with it. The only thing that has changed since the last time i used the controller was I plugged in a new webcam. Also whenever i plug the controller in it always switches back to the default audio device. I keep changing it back to my headphones however this keeps on occuring.

    :)

    DualSense Wireless Controller

    Hi,

    While connecting my PS5 controller to my pc (windows 10) it connects and sthe device shown as ' wireless controller' but the device shown as ' dualsense wireless controller' on my phone. And when connecting to pc, some feature of the controller such as vibration does not work. I wonder if there is a way to fix it.

    I have tried to restart the controller, trouble shooting the bluetooth, cable connecting and it all not working.

    Does windows 10 not support the dualsense wireless controller, do i need to get windows 11 to use the full function dualsense controller

    Thank you

    Problem solved

    Steps I did to solve:

    1. Use a cable to connect the controller to your device.

    2. Go to Controller website to download the latest hardware for DualSense™ Wireless Controller and DualSense Edge™ Wireless Controller. And follow the step of it to update hardware.

    3. Go to Sound Control Panel and find the speaker of the controller (heard that PS5 controller use sound to control vibration), right-click controller's speaker and press configure speaker. Make it Quadraphonic and go next, tick all two box and go next, press Finish.

    Then I open my game again and it works perfectly.
