no sound with PS5 controller

[HowieG]

No problem with playing with my ps5 controller but I don't have any sound at all. Looked at my audio output which is my SteelSeries headset. Anyone can help? Thanks!!

You must (1) connect your headset to the controller, or (2) change some Windows audio setting if you want to leave the headset connected to your PC.

Press Windows key + R. Paste

control mmsys.cpl

into the run dialog box that appears.

On the playback tab, right click the controller's Headset Earphone and set it as the Default Device. (Or your speakers? It's a bit unclear how you want the sound routed.)

When the controller is disabled or unplugged, it should revert to your previous playback device.

Do the same for the controller's Headset Microphone on the Recording Tab if you want your mic routed through the controller too.
