help with dualshock 4 controller and usb headset

[Perish_Song]

I need some help with being able to connect a dualshock 4 controller and usb headset at the same time. I don't know if I have done this in the past, but I believe I have, but lately I'm having an issue doing so.

The issue I'm having is that when I am using a usb headset for communication, and I plug in the dualshock controller to play a game, the controller disables the usb headset.

To be certain that it isn't just the order of devices, I've plugged the usb headset into the computer after the controller was already in, and the computer didn't recognize the headset. I've tested by accessing device manager and checking the headset driver when the controller is plugged in, and it completely removes the headset and its driver when plugged in.

Is there a way to have my computer still detect and send audio to the usb headset when the controller is plugged in, or is the fact that the computer detects the controller as a headset going to forever doom connecting a usb headset at the same time as a wired controller.

Once your pad and USB headset is connected, open audio settings and set the headset as the default audio device and default communication device. You may also want to disable the DS4’s onboard speaker (Right click, disable.) that should stop the DS4 switching audio devices when connected.

Option 1
a)
Plug in headset and go to
Audio Devices > Playback > set headset as default (no need for DS4 to be connected.)

When you connect the DS4 it shouldn't matter when the headset is connected, before or after, as the headset is default. If you sometimes use speakers the DS4 could still be an issue. For that connect the DS4 then go to

b)
Audio Devices > Playback > select the DS4 and disable it

Option 2
Disable DS4 as audio as described in Option 1b above. No need to do 1a though I think making headset default would be good for most situations.

Hello again. I've noticed from the responses that I forgot to mention that I am running windows 10.

I don't understand where you are disabling the onboard speaker from. I feel like there is a missed step.

I accessed sound from the control panel, accessed the playback tab, and didn't find the option to set the headset as default. This was because it was already the default. I then set my computer speakers to default, then set the headset back to default to ensure that this was set. I then plugged in the controller, and all seemed fine, and I disabled the controller as a headset earphone. Everything seemed fine until i selected the recording tab.


In recording I already from previous attempts have disabled the controller as a headset microphone, but it still interferes. When I access the tab the audio from the usb headset appears and disappears from the list, while simultaneously making a clicking sound in the ear each time it disappears from the list.

Any other suggestions?

The headset could have disconected and reconnected itself...really quick. Try using a different usb port.

I have tried different usb ports for both the headset and the controller. They aren't new, and I've used both separately a number of times. There isn't a short in any of the cables either. I just think it's a little strange that there isn't any other case of this happening.
