DualSense Discord Haptic Audio Fix

[GamersEatCrisps]

When streaming the game via Discord with DualSense haptic features enabled, the audio from the haptics ends up getting picked up by Discord and ruins the stream audio. Here's a quick fix:

Go to the Windows Volume Mixer, choose 'DualSense Wireless Controller' under the devices list, then mute the Discord app. It won't mute the game or stream sound, nor affect the vibration/haptics. It only stops Discord from picking up the haptic audio.

You'll need to begin the stream with the vibration/haptics enabled first for the Discord app to appear under the DualSense device, afterwhich you can disable it.

Any questions feel free to ask.

it makes sense , i went to control panel and disabled dual sense as an audio but that killed the haptic. when i switch the sounds mixer to dual sense and mute discord it just mute it for the whole pc (even after i switch listed device to speakers) windows 11 doesnt make it easy to find that ♥♥♥♥ anymore

thanks for posting the help above im glad that i was able to find the issue

actually just fixed it. windows 11 doesnt have access to the same volume mixer you have on windows 10. if your on windows 11 you need to type sndvol.exe into your search bar and then make sure it says dualsense speaker. then set the discord volume to zero as instructed above

Thanks for this, I'm still on Windows 10 so I had no idea it was different in Win11
