Fixing headphone plugging issues.

[Shougun]

I have an issue with my Bluetooth headset. The game doesn't crash, just the sound won't transfer to the headset if the game is already running before the headset is turned on/connected and so the game has to be restarted. I hope it's the same issue with the USB type issue and hopefully it's been fixed by 5.0.

I think that's what OP was talking about too since they said you have to restart to change audio (quite different than being crashed lol). This issue is also with 3.5mm cords depending on how things are set up. I don't crash when I switch either but I don't use USB but I used to have to restart the game to change from my headphones (3.5mm) to my speakers (hooked up via 3.5mm). I can now though switch audio between speakers and headphones since I've incorporated an extended male to female cord that is always plugged in.

Just wanted to add that since I didn't realize USB had a problem either (crash to desktop sounds fabulous..... lol hope that's fixed for sure!), but I saw some USB people here talking about how 3.5/other didn't have an issue per say (which imo having to restart is an issue, or at least annoyance).

Aw, well that just diminishes my hope, lol. (Speaking of USB problem, I do have a problem with using gamepad on PC that sometimes temporarily disconnects the gamepad while playing FFXIV. One good thing about using Steam is that it automatically reconnects the gamepad, but it's still an ongoing issue.)

I imagine if it is fixed for USB (allowing the PC to switch devices) then it'll be switched for us too (someone suggested it's good to go in the benchmark). Just seems like USB explodes while some of us non-USB don't lol, I've never crashed but I've had the game refuse to recognize I don't want to use speakers anymore and to switch to headphones (until I restarted, or until I switched to having them share the same line so the game/computer don't know or care that they could change).

Is the gamepad disconnecting just for FFXIV? I almost feel like that'd be another issue, because if people's gamepads (in general) were disconnecting I think there would be a riot on the forums on how it killed them during raid or something lol. May be able to trouble shoot that and fix it~! (That'd drive me mad, reminds me of when wireless mouses or keyboards didn't last for years or had super spotty connections lol).

I think same problem as in this thread, except I use 360 controller: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-disconnecting

There were other threads as well with disconnect issue that I found in the past, but that thread might be the latest one.
