So I have a USB headset but the mic on it is broken so I have a mic that I'm trying to use over 3.5mm headphone jack but connecting that to the controller takes over output and input and trying to tell PS4 that the headset on controller is only input and not both, it symmetrically tries to put 1 of them as both I/O. How do I fix this?
