I know that sounds dumb, but hear me out XD

I bought a Logitech A20 X and am connecting it via their Lightspeed dongle. It can also do USB and Bluetooth. I want Lightspeed exclusively.

When I connect it via USB, my PC registers it as a USB device, and interprets it as a different headset. So stuff like Discord and OBS gets confused about what audio device to use.

When I disable the USB input and output devices, it still attempts, fails, and exits out of wireless mode and enters an error state until I disconnect USB or re-enable the devices.

Is there a way to make it charge off the same computer while still connecting wirelessly? I didn't find anything in G Hub. Can I maybe restrict that specific USB port from doing anything but charging? Mess with the USB drivers somehow?

I usually use AUX exclusively, because it's much simpler and doesn't cause issues like this, this is my first wireless/USB headset.

Heya! I just got my shiny new A20 X. It arrived with 0% charge out of the box and doesn't seem to be accepting any charge. I've tried the included cable plugged into my PC, my phone charger, and my Steam Deck charger. G Hub says it's charging but I've kept it plugged in for about 90 minutes now and it's still at 0.

I tried googling but all I'm finding is A20 stuff, not A20 X, and of course google discontinued the quotation mark trick in favor of their AI hallucinations.

G Hub is telling me to do a firmware update, but when I try to do that, it refuses because the battery is low.

Is there anything I can do? I found a button combo to hard reset an A20 but I can't find anything like that for the A20 X and the included manual doesn't seem helpful at all.

I'll try to keep this brief because this has been an issue for 25 years and if I list every example I'll be here all day.

I have speakers and a headset. Plugging them in and out confuses Windows and breaks software. Constantly. So no. I hand wired a switch to some AUX ports so I have a quick toggle between my speakers and headset, been working great. Wear my headset when I want to chat, set it to speakers when I do anything else.

Well I got a VR headset and that's thrown a wrench into my system. Now I got a whole second microphone and second headphones that aren't connected just by AUX.

I've been using SteelSeries GG to make Windows think it's all one output while routing it through there to get to the right destination, but the other day the funniest thing happened in VRChat, and I recorded it with OBS, but because GG updated, OBS lost track of the device and recorded only my microphone.

Yesterday Discord crashed and when I reconnected people said I sounded weird and distant. After some confusion I went "can you hear this?" and reached over and tapped my VR headset. They could hear it. Discord defaulted to the wrong microphone on restart. Had to go into settings to fix that.

When Windows has exactly one input and one output device, it behaves nicely. I would like to return to that. I disabled my monitor's HDMI sound, I disabled my front AUX ports, I disabled everything except what I actually use so it can never default to anything wrong, but the VR headset makes that messy and impossible.

So I thought, hey I don't really agree with wireless headsets, but that might fix it. So I bought a nice Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3. It has a USB dongle for 2.4 GHz so I don't have to fuck with Bluetooth. Excellent. I can wear that normally and in VR and it'll be fine.

...except now if I disable every other device, my speakers don't work. And if I keep my speakers around, the whole point of buying the wireless headset is moot.

So what the heck do I do? Is there some DAC I could buy that can handle a 2.4GHz USB dongle with minimal added latency and a physical switch to toggle between that and AUX? Maybe something with a Raspberry Pi, I have no experience with that? I do have a Steam Deck and could potentially stream audio to and from and through that but that'd be... heckin stupid. Could I perhaps plug my speakers into my headset? Is that something wireless headsets support??

I feel like an idiot for not seeing this obvious issue until after buying the wireless headset. Someone tell me there's some easy solution I'm missing, please. XD

Heya! I'm entirely new to VR and got an original HTC Vive used for cheap. I'm pretty happy with it considering the price, but the controllers are kinda craptastic. I see newer ones have actual buttons and control sticks and that sounds like a huge upgrade over the touch circles.

What should I try to replace them with? What's even compatible?

I saw a listing for an old Oculus (doesn't say what kind exactly, might be a CV1?) and those controllers look alright, but I don't know if they'd even work with this. I'm doing it all over SteamVR.

I'm looking for a cheap used solution primarily, it doesn't have to be the best set of controllers in all of VR gaming, it just has to be better than the ones I got and be cheap used.
