Audio & Headphone/Speaker Function Guide – QRD Maestro S3
The QRD Maestro S3 is equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack, compatible with most wired headphones. Please note:
-
The audio jack supports headphone output and microphone input only when connected to platforms that allow audio passthrough, such as PS4 or certain PCs.
-
The controllers do not feature built-in speakers like the DualShock 4 – there will be no game sound from the controller body.
-
On PC, when using the headphone jack, you may need to manually set it as the default audio output in your sound settings.
-
When connected wirelessly (Bluetooth), audio output via the controller is generally not supported on platforms like PC or Switch.
