Recording Audio on Computer

[wahabthesmasher]

I'm trying to record audio from the PS4's controller on my computer. I did this by getting TRS male-to-male cable and connecting it from the controller to the computer audio jack.

However, this did not work. I later found out that my computer takes in TRSS for its audio jack, so I guess my computer thought it was supposed to send audio.

I tried this on another computer which had 2 ports (one for headphones and the other for mic) and it worked.

Does anyone know how I should record this?

(BTW I'm trying to record on the HP Envy 15, JIC the horrible Beats Audio software is the problem. I tried uninstalling it and no audio worked)

Laptops typically have only one audio plug, that combines mic and speaker. Get an y-cable for separate plugs.

You need a splitter like this one

There are similar ones that won't work. The male plug should have three black stripes not two,
