Hi Jay,
Long time user and very grateful fan of DS4Windows!
I've found something quite interesting, I don't know if you've also noticed. Sony started releasing their new DS4 controllers, I picked one up. New controller is exactly identical except for the fact that it now includes a narrow lighbar line on the touchpad. Apparently, the new controller is now able to be used by directly plugging into the PS4, to reduce latency.
However I'm only using it for PC so big whoop haha.
HOWEVER, unlike my old DS4 controller, when I plug in this new one, something pops up in my windows sound devices options!
It's classified as a headset audio device and I can use the controller's audio jack for sound! Prayers answered? Not quite..
Unfortunately, when I run DS4W, the headset audio device is still present but fails to play any audio. I've tried enabling "use dinput only" but that doesn't work.
I know you don't much like how many times people have asked you about "sound through the controller" and how many times you've had to explain the reverse engineering is impossible. But does this new model changes things? Or are we at the same impasse? I don't know if there's any way you could change the driver to not interfere with the audio device.
Also a question to anyone out there,
When I'm using the Lillypad plugin and select dinput, I am able to set controls to Pad1. The dinput device shows up as "DX wireless controller" Unfortunately, once in game, despite the controller test still showing readings from input, and all the controls being set, there is no input in game. Of course, it works with DS4Windows and the Xinput device. But is there anyway to make this DS4 controller work without xinput? Because if possible I'd like to use the audio jack, and as I explained, xinput is disabling the audio (probably cause there's no headphone jack on an xbox controller?)
Once again thanks so much for your awesome software and thanks in advance for the reply!
