    The Steam Controller doesn’t have a headphone jack, and Valve told us why — kind of.

    “This is both a peripheral controller for a PC as well as the Steam Machine or whatever else you want to plug it into,” said hardware engineer Steve Cardinali. “Most of the time, your audio will be coming from that, not directly your controller.” Because of that, “we just didn’t feel like it was necessary.”

    I still wish it was there; I use the DualSense’s headphone jack for quiet audio at night all the time. Otherwise, I really like the controller.
