DualSense Controller Only Working As Trackpad

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 17:35

Hey all, I'm trying to get back into Linux gaming again, and I recently installed CachyOS KDE Plasma with the gaming-meta and gaming-applications post install via their wiki. I was hoping it would make things a bit smoother, and while that remains to be seen, I'm having a really hard time getting my DualSense controller to work as a controller when trying to run a game through Wayland.

I have the controller connected via USB-C cable, and it functions as essentially a laptop Trackpad. I've played around with turning the steam controller stuff off, as well as the launch option PROTON_NO_STEAMINPUT=1 and PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1, but to no avail. The game I'm mostly referring to in this example (Elden Ring Nightreign) should be natively compatible with the DualSense, but I can't get it to work.

Is there something I'm missing to get the controller working as well, a controller? Thank you for any help.

Steam VR no sound routing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29. September 2025 - 14:15

Im kinda breaking my head. im using Ubuntu 24.04(XORG) and steam with the debian packagemanager to avoid sandboxing headaches. but i cant get the Sound to work on VR games. with qpwgraph, i can get it routed for some games but its horrible quality. the selected output doesnt matter, as in aux speakers or bluetooth headphones dont change it. normal desktop sounds. like videos or flatscreen games can be played on the vr. just all games managed thru steam vr dont get sound or if manually rerouted with horrible analog noise

does anyone have an idea how to get the sound to connect correctly?
