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.

❓FAQs:

Q1: Why is there no sound from my headset when using on PS4?

Make sure the headset is fully inserted into the controller’s audio jack.
On your PS4, go to Settings > Devices > Audio Devices, and set the "Output to Headphones" to "All Audio".
Use a headset with a TRRS plug (4-pole), which supports both audio and mic.

Q2: Can I hear game sound directly from the Maestro S3 controller?

No, the Maestro S3 does not have a built-in speaker. Sound is only transmitted through the 3.5mm headset jack.

Q3: Why doesn’t the headset work when connected on PC?

Check your PC’s Sound Settings and make sure the output is set to the controller/headphone.
Reboot your game or PC after connecting the headset.
Make sure you’re using a wired connection, as wireless mode typically doesn’t support audio passthrough.
