Glaring ones. 2.0 out of 5 stars

THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH SOUND – PLUG IT IN AND I LOST SOUND IN MY SPEAKERS (my mobo is a Gigabyte DS3)

No support anywhere on the microsoft website or internet on this, and I saw a frazzled previous reviewer… so here’s the fix:

The controller has an integrated headset feature (you can buy seperately), but your pc may (like mine did) see the controller as a Controller AND a “headset.” It automatically enabled the “headset” (thus disabling my speakers).

Go to Control Panel > Sound

You’ll see it as a microsoft headset device enabled — disable this “headset”. Then your speakers should come back on. This does not interfere with the joystick at all.

Enjoy!
