Ive never even heard of something like this happening prior to now, bordering on calling this post bullshit.
How a headsets power influx could somehow accurately pick and cycle through a specific set of icons consistently is baffling and, in my opinion, points more towards hardware failure than OS failure. But we’ll never know because there’s a close to 0% chance OP updates :(
oh ive had jank like this before, windows suddenly detecting my ps5 controller as a speaker. somehow my speaker config changing back to a shittier one. and in general these kinds of problems.
So this is actually normal, your ps4 controller has a speaker in it but I’m not sure that it’s functional on windows but they still detect that a new speaker source was connected and thus tries to switch.
There was some setting I changed to prevent this from happening because it would happen to me too all the time so that’s good news!
Yeah. The whole Windows v. Linux thing is a prime example of actually greener grass on the Linux side. One reason the Linux community is so vocal lately is because it’s maddening how many people just won’t fucking try it.
It did not use to be this good, especially for gaming. But it is now, and it’s time to accept that progress happened.
I use both for 6-8 hours a day each.
The grass is greener on the Linux side when it comes to inexplicable bullshit like this.

I’m offended that when I set my speaker to Dualsense, nothing actually plays from it! I want to scare my partner with random sounds from behind us!

The Linux community can be very aggressive at times to the point of being insufferable, which is putting people off trying Linux.
