@kyleforrester87 There is your problem, you need more jam.

@JohnnyShoulder I dunno I wasn’t even using it and it was still bugging me so I’ve just taken it apart again for another go at it. It’ll stop working before I do!

@kyleforrester87 Sounds like you’ve found yourself in quite the... jam.

Another reason to never let @kyleforrester87 with his cheetos fingers near my controllers.

Well I took a good look at it and I couldn’t figure out what the problem was, then under a light I did see a slightly shiny substance around the touchpad frame (the clear plastic bit that lights up) so I figured some jam like substance must have worked it’s way in! I took the pcb out of the touchpad and took the plastic frame out of the controller, washed and dried them thoroughly, put it all back together and problem solved!

So there you go!

Jam!

@kyleforrester87 Or wasn’t relish from your hot dog, because then you’d have been in quite a pickle.

It was my natural secretion

My man sap

@kyleforrester87 We get it. 🤢🤮😅

Has anyone experienced the bug where in-game music doesn't play anymore? Sounds effects still do, but it's silent for the most part.

@Octane I can't say I've had this problem mate, worst I've experienced is that on shooting games The Division 2 and Control Ultimate Edition, the haptic feedback on the trigger works some times not always sometimes it even cuts out halfway through firing and I've had this on both my controllers so I'm assuming there's a bit of a bug in the games that have been given next gen patches.

@Octane The only thing like that I've had is when I played a 4k movie disk, and only some of the dialogue was coming through. I went to the sound setting on the console, nothing looked out of the ordinary and everything was OK when I went back to the film. That was when I first got the console and it has not happened since.

@MaulTsir @JohnnyShoulder I was playing Sackboy, and I noticed the levels were eerily silent. But the sound effects were still playing, so that was weird. A restart solved it.

I think it may have something to do with the Spotify app, since it's also broken most of the time.

@Octane It may have happened to me whilst playing Cyberpunk, but you know its Cyberpunk!

@JohnnyShoulder LOL

My PS5 came today! I’ve spent around an hour with Astro’s Playroom and it’s absolutely fantastic. The haptics are way better than I thought they’d be too. I’m pretty blown away.

@nessisonett now comes the period of getting used to the fact that most games don't use haptics nearly as well as Astro
It's an absolutely fantastic feature when used right though!

@Voltan Just like how most Wii games weren’t as mind blowing as the first time playing Wii Sports then 😂

@nessisonett seriously though - developers are at least trying in most PS5 games and I still think it'll get better rather than abandoned. Sony-published games are obviously where it's at at the moment but even AC Valhalla has a nice splash effect when jumping into water or when you're on a boat. I've been playing more PS4 games recently and it's easy to forget how cool haptic feedback is but then you fire up Destruction All Stars for 20 minutes and you're like "oh yeah, this is what the controler can do". It's awesome.

@nessisonett Oh nice! Yeah Astro is well good, really should get back to that and finish it off.

Although other games do not use the Dual Sense features to the same high standard, I still think it is cool how some games use it. Demon's Souls for instance was more understated but still felt better than any previous game in the genre.
