CANT CONTROL FRIENDS PARSEC GAME WITH A CONTROLLER SOFTWARE
I'm using a DualShock 4 (PS4 Controller) and a piece of software called SCP Server that tricks your PC into thinking a DS4 controller is an Xbox 360 controller. If you don't have other devices to test, check the VB-Cable section in our echo article for setting up an audio device that works well with Parsec.The keyboard controls aren't great and you can't use a mouse so I need a controller. There are some cases in which Parsec just cannot make use of the device currently set as default. If you have a Razer headphone especially, make sure to check for this. If you have a setup with virtual surround sound you may want to turn it off and test Parsec again. Your virtual surround sound setup is interfering Right-click the Parsec icon in the taskbar and click Restart.In the Advanced tab, switch to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality).You may also wanna try lowering the sample rate and bit depth of the host's audio.

Speaker sample rate and bit depth is too high If anyone is currently connected, you need to kick everyone for the changes to apply. If you want Parsec to capture a device different from the default one in Windows, change Audio in Parsec's settings > Host to something else. If you recently switched the default audio device, you should restart Parsec and the programs that have audio to make sure they start using the new device. Check the game's audio settings, or Windows' audio settings to make it use a different device. In the example below, audio is not playing in the default device, so Parsec won't capture it. Watch where the audio is playing by looking at the green bar, and check if the audio is in the default device.If the program is running audio through a different speaker, Parsec will not capture it. Parsec by default captures all audio from whichever is the default speaker on the host's machine. Parsec isn't in the same speaker as the program with audio

If hovering the sound icon on the host taskbar says "No speakers or headphones are plugged in", install a virtual audio device like VB-Cable. Parsec does not create its own speaker when the host lacks one, and especially cloud PCs usually lack an audio device to capture. Parsec has no speaker to capture on the host If that fixes it, but you want to prevent guests from hearing themselves, use the VB-Cable fix in the echo article.

The host can try turning the feature off in Parsec's settings > Host > Echo Cancelling. Parsec's automatic echo cancelling may cause the audio to be lowered permanently if it detects someone's microphone is always active in Discord. Parsec's echo cancelling is lowering the audio Make sure that the overlay on the guest says "Sound ON" instead of OFF. Open your computer's volume mixer on both the guests and the host, and make sure that Parsec and everything you're expecting to hear isn't muted or set to some inaudible volume percentage. Programs are muted or set to a really low volume Right-click Parsec's icon in the taskbar and click Restart, on all devices involved. Sometimes all you need is to restart to get things going. Restart Parsec on both the host and guests This article goes over potential reasons for why a guest cannot hear sound when joining a computer through Parsec.
