    Dualshock 4 not working with my computer when connected through USB


    The yellow bar lights up and sometimes it resets my audio devices, but it isn't recognized by games unless I have it connected by bluetooth, which I typically keep off. The controller did work via USB in the past, but now the only thing it's good at is turning off my speakers.

    My wireless controller is not working on my laptop.

    To be honest you may have to contact Sony about connecting a PlayStation controller to PC.

    From PlayStation’s website:

    You can connect a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller to a Windows PC using a DUALSHOCK®4 USB wireless adaptor or a compatible micro USB cable.

    Thanks,

    Headset reccomendation.

    Plug the 3.5mm jack into the dualshock 4 for stereo sound and then the usb for chat?

    Dualshock 4 not working through bluetooth.

    I clearly said that it worked before as it's supposed to without using any other app since some games have native dualshock support with no third party program, I also said that it still works with an USB cable, I'll also add that it works on my laptop with no issue through bluetooth. EDIT: I got a friend that just factory reseted their PC at this exact moment, asked them to test the controller on Rocket League with no third party app installed, and the game, as well as windows, detect the controller through bluetooth and work flawlessly, showing dualshock inputs in game.

    Also, my controller works on other PC's just fine, even when using the same bluetooth adaptor that I use on my main PC, so this is not a dualshock issue.
