Dual Sense on PC: Sound issues
I'm enjoying this port to PC. So far, I've been playing it with my DualSense Controller (wired) and haptic feedback and adaptive triggers work like a charm. But I can't seem to get the controller sound to work. It's turned on in the options, to no avail.

The only option I found to get it to work is if in the Windows settings I select the DualSense as the primary output device. From that moment on the atmospheric sounds the controller sometimes makes (for example when charging up your sword) start working, but all the rest of the game's sound also comes through the controller speakers now. I obviously don't want that and would much prefer my headset to be the main audio output for the game.

Is there really no way to hear the game sound over headphones and at the same time have the sounds that are exclusive to the controller activated? This absolutely works on PS5, so I can't wrap my head around why it doesn't seem to be an option on PC.

If anyone can chime in on this audio issue: Much appreciated.

Same problem here, and all sounds in game go thru the controller speaker only. it's weired. Even if I set in-game "Controller Audio" to "off" and upgraded to latest 1.01 (actually I have just bought this game), doesn't help. And I don't understand this is the only thread talking about this issue on the public internet.

DEMO version has the same problem, but one thing better than retail version is, I could use other device (e.g. On-board audio)for main sound output instead, keeping Haptic feedback working on the controller. What is the problem for Retail version???Is the problem caused after Dual Sense updated for wireless connectivity?
