Audio through controller (lemmy.world)

Not new to Linux but just build a PC (Linux mint) so new to Linux gaming. How do I get a similar function to my PS5 so plugging headphones into the controller switches the audio? I play a lot at night and not trying to wake the fam. I have a Xbox one and PS4 controller for the PC.

If the controller is recognized as a USB/Bluetooth audio device, you can probably see it and select it as default output device in the "Output Devices" tab of pavumixer (or whatever other sound device control program/Pulseaudio mixer you might choose to use with your particular environment).

Thank you. I'll have a look at that when I get home
