    How to use a wireless controller as an audio output?


    I have an Xbone controller. When I plug it into my PC via a usb cable, I can use it as a proper jack for my headset and use it as if I was using it on my actual Xbone.


    However when I use the controller in bluetooth, I can't use it as an audio jack. How do I set it up to use my headset with my controller in wireless as I can in wired mode?

    :)

    No audio output device is installed

    A screenshot of the Device Manager, Sounds section is still needed. Can't really offer a suggestion until I see what is showing there now.

    e.g this is mine It shows AMD which the audio for HDMI, Realtek and Tranzport which is a wireless controller for my recording studio program.
