Dualsense5 keeps disconnecting

[Cho]

A wonderful saturday to you all.
Im fairly new to PC Gaming and today for the first time tried to pair my PS5 controller so steam, which it did. When i tried to play The Saboteur with my controller, it kept disconnecting and switching from Keyboard to controller settings multiple times within minutes. Is there any solution to have a stable controller connection when I play Steam without KB and mouse?

Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.

How did you connect your Dualsense controller to your PC?

Hey Cathulhu, via Bleutooth. I first tried a wired connection, but for some reason, a wired connection takes away the sound from the game. The bleutooth pairing is done without a usb stick though, just straight up from controller to my PC.

Use a USB cable and update the firmware of the gamepad if one is available..
Keep in mind that the Dualsense has sound capabilities and the OS can foolishly decide to use it as the primary soundcard. Change your settings accordingly.

Thank you for the tips. Im going to figure out how I can update drivers and make these changes to my settings. Im a proper PC newbie, but it's fun to figure stuff out to become a more knowledgeable gamer.

Cheers!
