    What's the catch with Device Control? Can't get any of my devices to work with it.


    • Is there an additional piece of kit you need (Kinect or something)?
    • Does the Xbox need line of sight to reach my devices?
    • Is there a definitive list of remote codes online anywhere?
    I have my Xbox in a media cabinet, with the doors closed, but the doors have big glass windows, which remote signals should be able to pass through.
    Next to my Xbox is my LG blu-ray player which is also a 5.1 audio system. The Xbox is connected to this by Optical cable. Instead of a TV I use a projector, which is sat on the opposite side of the room, about 9 feet from the Xbox.
    LG blu ray player / 5.1 receiver is model BH6620P (which isn't listed anywhere on Xbox's list of models)
    Projector is an Optoma HD600x-LV (which also isn't listed anywhere on Xbox's list of models. There's an HD60x-LV listed, but that's a model number Optoma has never even produced - so WTF is that about?)
    I've tried using the nearest model numbers available, and set them up to all turn off/on when the Xbox does, but neither of them do anything. Any idea what's wrong with this?
    Thanks

    Controller not recognised

    I haven't had any issues with the controller on any other games outside of Xbox PC (Beta)

    I managed to get it working in the end by using InputMapper and setting:

    Input Device = Any controller

    Output Device = 360 Controller

    Xbox Elite Controller 2 will not connect VIA usb or Bluetooth to my pc

    My mistake, i failed to mention it was the version 2. Also it doesn't work wired or wireless with my pc. Pc doesn't see it wia Bluetooth and says that device has faied to be recognized. Yet works fine with the Xbox.
    Gotcha, does it show up under device manager as failed device (or not working) Control Panel > Device Manager (will like appear under Human Interface Devices). If it does, try uninstalling it from there and removing drivers and try installing it again.

    Yup, that was my first thing I did. Uninstalled, reinstalled, disabled, enabled. Ran windows updates, updated to 2004. Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers, tested other Xbox one controllers. Honestly don't know what else to do. Of course Microsoft doesn't have
    the drivers public so can't manually install them. Then what I don't get is that it works just fine with the Xbox.

    xbox 360 wired controller not recognized by pc/ driver for controller no working

    I bought a Xbox 360 wireless controller a while ago, the controller was working fine before I got windows 10. Everything connects and the device says that it's running properly but when I enter any game I can't get the controller to work at all. So like
    I said everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that I can't use the controller in a game or anywhere for that matter. Any ideas? Thanks!
