Issue on Dualsense Controller PC Windows 11 [USB Wired] (Vibration/Controller Speaker Volume)

Discussion

Hello, I am having some issues with the DualSense PS5 PC Controller in both Controller Sounds Volume, and its vibration since at today March 13, 1:30 P.M. (PST).

Last time I played without any of the mentioned issues was yesterday at midnight.

What I've done and checked:

-Restarted the PC.

-Changing USB port and Cable.

-Checked that BOTH Controller Speaker Volume and Controller Vibrarion were enabled.

-Followed the steps mentioned on Hoyolab Haptic Feedback Function FAQ regarding PS5 controller functionality.

Volume of Controller at Max Level

All Speakers enabled [Surround speakers is what I've recalled that eneables CSV and vibration in ZZZ previously]

-Checked that DualSense Controller was updated to its latest version. [Firmware A-0630]

-PlayStation Controller Support Enabled on Steam (tried also as Disabled/Steam off and didn't worked)

What I've noticed:

Ever since 2.5, the DualSense controller tends to change between lightning. (That when Steam detects the controller it turns the LED color into one I've chosen.)

When Steam detects the controller and ZZZ has vibration enabled.

When it doesn't show said color its when the Sound and Vibration doesn't work.

Wwired DualSense Controller is turned on and works but when ZZZ is focued w/o Steam profile it doesnt Vibrate/Sound.

Again, trying to know if it is a recent issue for everyone that has a DualSense controller or I am just unlucky and had a REALLY contained scenario that happened to me... before opting to just reformat Windows 11.

P.S. I just noticed this is the official ZZZ whoops... I hope I can receive some help here (It's been almost like 10 hours since I've had this issue) 😟.
