Hello All,
I will try to be as specific as possible. I have little to no technical expertise with computers, which is why I’m here!
I have just purchased a Logitech F310 PC gamepad so that I can play old PlayStation games, that I have just purchased very cheaply off Steam, using a controller rather than a keyboard.
Unfortunately, as long as the controller is plugged in, no in-game sound is played. Other sound is fine; I often play youtube videos and podcasts in the background while I play games and that sound is still fine even while I’m playing games. If I disconnect the F310 and go back to using the keyboard, the sound works fine.
Because the games I am trying to play are so old (the original Tomb Raider series to be specific), Xinput is not supported and I have to use Direct Input with the Logitech Gaming Software.
A secondary issue I am having is that I can’t use more than one D-Pad input at a time to move Lara around. E.g. I press up and she moves forward; I press left and she turns left; if I press up + left on the D-Pad, she does nothing. I have to stop running to change directions, and then have to move in a straight line. This issue isn’t so pressing as the joysticks work fine and I suppose I can get used to using them to steer!
Anyway, if you could please help me fix this issue, that would be great!

- I have tried using a PS3 controller using SCP and Motioninjoy, and had no success with either.
- The cutscenes that play at the beginning of the game (the developer introductions and the opening sequence) play sound just fine; I assume that this is because they are pre-recorded video with audio and not sound effects of gameplay
Anyway, if you could please help me fix this issue, that would be great!
