PS5 Controller is not working anymore as it used to on windows 10 & 11

My PS5 controller used to work fine with steam even in spiderman and Guardians of the galaxy had haptic feedback. Suddenly is not working as it used to. When I try to play Hogwarts on steam when I press R2 repeatedly, it has a delay. I tried use it both via USB and via Bluetooth. When I open the Firmware PS5 program to check for update, the program is not responding. I tried in another computer and it is works fine. When I try to open Spiderman with the controller connected via USB, it freezes and won't open. I uninstalled the controller, I reboot the PC and still works not fine. It is recognized from my windows 11 (I updated from 10 to 11 and still it has the same issues) as audio device or as other device (if i disable it as audio) but no as input device as is my xbox controller.

Probably this happened after an windows updated or armoury crate upodates. I have asus MB. The same day that I have issues with my PS5 controller, I had issues with my Corsair keyboard. It wasn't recognized by iCue program so I can change the RGB. It made me frustrated not able to change rgb and keep flashing in my face so I changed the keyboard with Logitech that I had.

Can anyone help me please? I like playing with both controllers (xbox and ps5) but I like using the ps5 controller when i want to play ps5 games.

    As I remember I can not use haptic feedback without connect it via USB. And my ps5 controller is not recognized by the DSX. The Firmware updater for DualSense™ wireless controller freezes and not working when I connect my controller. But in my sister's PC has no problem. So there is some problem with my PC. I do not understand why it is recognized as audio device and not as input. I have tried many methods and the only solution that I have not tried is to reinstall my windows but right now I am not in the mood to reinstall all programs and staff. Fortunately vis Bluetooth is owrking and I have my X-box one controller too. But I could have taken 2nd xbox controller if I knew that my PS5 haptic feedback would not work.

    Hi , ApostolosGeorgakopoulos.

    The haptic system on steam should be recognized however as in this case I recommend using Dualsense X to keep haptic feedback active.

    I will try this solution. The problem is, in order to use the haptic feedback of the ps5 controller, I must not use it with emulator if I remember correctly. Else the game on steam (spiderman & Guardians of the galaxy) will not work with haptic feedback.

    I am satisfied that is working via Bluetooth (I do not have a useless controller that is not working), but I bought the ps5 controller to use it for ps5 games with haptic feedback. I have a X-box one xontroller too.

    Hi , ApostolosGeorgakopoulos.

    Okay, try to use the DS4 to install the driver or alternatively to and redo the connection before doing so, uninstall the wireless control on the bluetooth.

    That's odd. You should never have to go into Device Manager for the PS5 controller. There's something else going on with both of your computers. I've never seen this with Windows 10 nor Windows 11.

    A remapper application is needed anyway to get it working with games that don't support it out of the box which happens to be most. Whether that's Dualsense X, DS4Windows, Steam, or some other one.

    BTW, Steam's own remapper sees updates at times so it also sees its own problems. Its not really anything different from Dualsense X or DS4Windows other than its built into Steam and sees its own bugs. I don't know if the issue is there for you. You can also update the controller's firmware when connecting it directly to a PS5. You can also try a Steam beta and see if that helps or one of the other separate application ones and disable Steam's internal one. But, you might have some other issue going on with that computer.
