Dualsense controller is putting out game audio despite having the setting turned off

[ZeroBladeZX]

Game crashed moments ago and now there is no audio coming from the game unless I plug in the dualsense and it's using the audio even after having turned the setting off. Does anyone else get this issue or know of any solutions? Thanks in advance

Update: it fixed itself overnight

I might misunderstand, but...

In Windows, right-click the speaker icon in the lower right and select Sound Settings. There you can select which device to use for sound, like speakers, headset, controller speaker or other sound devices you have connected.

My PC is also automatically selecting the controller output whenever I connect the DualSense, so then I have to select headset (or speakers) again from the Windows Sound Settings.

The sound settings in game, where you select headset, surround, stereo speakers etc is just to specify how the sound is generated before it's sent to your selected device in Windows.

Something like that...

Ah, it was a game sound option for dualsense speakers working when I had it set to off. turned off the pc, had a sleep, came back and it fixed itself. thanks for your suggestion!
