PS5 controller recognized as audio device on PC

Hello everyone, today I bought a PS5 controller that I connected to my PC. At first, everything was fine; it was recognized as another device, so I could play my games like Red Dead. However, 3 hours later, it stopped working, and I noticed that it suddenly switched to the "audio device" category. I don't know how to revert it to how it was before. I tried several methods I found online, such as disabling it as an audio device or trying with Steam to play my games with the controller. As for the Steam method, it works, but I would like to know if there is a way to fix this connectivity issue as an audio device (I should mention it’s connected via a USB-C cable that allows for data transfer). Thanks in advance for your replies.

    Hello

    If it still doesn't work, try Steam, because you can configure your controller on Steam wired or wirelessly.

      Yes, I know that's what I'm doing and it's working well, but I would still have liked to be able to fix my problem. What I know is that it doesn't come from my controller but probably from my PC and Windows.

    it's probably because of the audio output function of the controller...
    check if there are any drivers to install

      Ok thanks, but when I go to sites like DriversCloud, I have no information about my drivers and when I check in Device Manager it tells me that I have them all.
