Controller for pc? - 1

I used to play with a PS4 controller but whenever I play the game it swallows the sound so I want to get a new Xbox controller

Wanted to know which one is good

You can do that with the sound. To adjust.

Yes, then treat yourself to an Xbox one controller.

Do you have to switch manually…

Wouldn't change much

If you click on the volume symbol at the bottom right of the desktop, you can change where the sound should be audible.
You can also use Control Panel - Sound - and then right-click to set it as the default device when you want.

In case you mean swallowing sound.
