    How do I fix my Xbox S recognizing my elite controller as an audio device.


    Elite controller is being recognized as an audio device. I can only hear game audio when my headphones are on but I can't use game chat, or party chat when I'm using my elite controller. A regular controller works just fine however. If I don't have headphones on while using my elite controller then I don't have any audio coming out of my TV speakers

    :)

    How do I fix my Xbox S recognizing my elite controller as an audio device.

    Hi A.guy.named.sully! I’m more than happy to help you!

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with your Xbox Elite controller, please make sure that both the Elite controller and your Xbox console are updated to the latest firmware version.

    Go to your Xbox console's audio settings and make sure they are set correctly. Go to Settings > Devices & Accessories > Audio > Audio Output and make sure you select the appropriate option for game and chat audio.

    Left and Right Triggers not working on PC, Bluetooth Connection, Xbox One Controller, All other buttons works

    DS3 is Dark Souls 3, I am playing it through steam and no it had the issue the moment I connected it to my pc. I am unable to use the Xbox Accessories App to update my controller because it does not recognize a controller being connected. When I look in my device manager the controller is labeled "HID-compliant game controller" I am able to deactivate it and it deactivates my controller. But it seems that Xbox Accessories doesn't register my controller properly even if my computer does. I am also unable to use my Xbox Elite 2 controller with steam but it works with other games. I've already updated both controllers using my Xbox One S.

    Dual Shock 3 Controller identified as random number audio device in device and printer

    I'm playing GTA V then my controller suddenly disconnects and now my Windows 10 PC recognizes my controller as an audio device. I also have the same device name (XBOX 360 for Windows) and the "20170726905959" controller name as an audio device. I also tried installing ScpToolkit, removing, disabling, uninstalling the audio device and still having the problem. This problem is driving me crazy because I just got this controller last month. Any fix?
