    I am currently using Windows 11, I have a late 2020 M1 MacBook Air. I have reinstalled Parallels tool already, but I am still having this problem. I am using a Dualsense controller (connected by usb c), and I am attempting to play a game on steam. However, this issue happens whether I'm using steam or not. It's just when the controller connects. Does anyone know what is happening here?

    Okay nevermind I figured out the problem. When I connected the controller, Windows was trying to use it as an audio device for some reason. So I clicked "select a sound output" (next to the volume bar in windows), and selected speakers. Now I can use a controller and have audio.

    How did you even get Parallels to recognize the controller in the first place? I'm unable to do so with multiple controllers.
