PC Controller losing connection intermittently

Yes, it's very rare for me. Incidents are maybe 4-5 hours apart on average. USB log viewer shows no disconnection of the controller or any other device until I physically unplug it.

I'm having the same issue since endwalker launch with usb connected DualShock 4 Sony PS4 controller.

I think it has something to with the changes to ps4/ps5 touchpad controllers as a sound device in the patch, though even though disabling the device as a sound device has no change in the game contstantly dicsconnected/refreshing the device.

Its especially annoying now trying to raid with a controller that could cut out at any second. But also because discord is also now recognizing the controllers sound capability and everytime ffxi refreshes the device discord goes searching again and pops up with the "do you want to use this newly connected device as an audio device?" "Switch to it, dont switch". you can "don't show me this again" but its still annoying knowing both apps are causing lag.
