PC only recongnize my Dualsense controller as audio when using SAMSUNG charger
ive been using regular wired usb c chargers for my controller until randomly one day it stopped connecting to my controller and i thought it was a hidhide problem. i checked hidhide and it wasnt even being detected in DS4 or Steam. so i went and got a Samsung type c 16 pro max charger and iTS BEING CHARGED AND RECONGNIZED AS AUDIO BUT NOT A CONTROLLER. it also works fine on my PS5 and connects to Bluetooth just fine. and tried all of these things
- Used different USB-A to USB-C cables.
- Tried different USB ports on the PC.
- Tried using Steam (+Big Picture).
- Used DS4Windows (including enabling DualSense there).
- Updated drivers.
- Connected the USB to the controller while it was blinking.
- Connected the USB to the controller after it finished blinking.
- Performed a hard reset on the controller.
- Restarted the PC multiple times.
- deleted steam
- deleted hidhide
- deleted scptoolkit
- went into device manager and uninstalled all usb and audio devices then restated
Can someone please help me kindly
