Greetings.

I have the Saitek X55 set up for ED, and it works brilliantly when I use the built in Realtek soundcard and use my external speakers.

But when I switch sound devices to my Corsair Vengeance 2100 headset, ED doesn't respond at all to either the stick or throttle. Mouse and keyboard works fine, and I can even calibrate the hotas in Windows 10 devices list, Windows has no problem recognizing them at all. But in game, no reaction.

Now, I had a similar problem with Fallout 4 last year. Then my wireless keyboard stopped responding in game whenever I used the headset, and that time I had to edit an .ini file to get the game to not expect a game controller. See https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/3s97fc/keyboard_mouse_not_working/

So, how do I order Elite Dangerous to treat my headset as a headset and my hotas as a hotas?

Sorry, don't have a definite answer. But have you tried different USB ports. My speakerphone works ok when plugged into my laptop USB2 hub, but not in the USB3 hub on desktop, but ok when plugged into usb skt at the back of desktop.

And no I don't understand why.

Well, thanks for your reply. I have tried that, yes. I guess I'll just have to limit ED time to when I have the house to myself.
