    Don’t PlayStation controllers have a speaker built in? Not making excuses for Windows, but that might be related to why it gets confused.

      I’m betting the Bluetooth ID given by the controller advertises that it is a speaker, and Windows is assuming a newly connected speaker is where the person wants to output audio. I mean, why else would you connect a speaker? /s

      Fun fact: The PS5 controller also includes a microphone. My circle didn’t know a hot mic was listening in on everything until we noticed background audio in one of our captures.

      they do, but the operating system should be asking me if I want to do something… not just do it without me agreeing or initiating it.
