XBOX Controller buttons issue!

2) There is a known problem with the fuse in the receiver going bad, and can be fixed by bridging the gap where the fuse is. You'd have to google this for more info, as I can't recall recall the specifics.

I kept running into this on Google as well.

Two ideas to try.

1) When you hit the search button on the receiver, make sure to press the sync button on the controller itself (next to LB, iirc) as well
2) There is a known problem with the fuse in the receiver going bad, and can be fixed by bridging the gap where the fuse is. You'd have to google this for more info, as I can't recall recall the specifics.

that didn't work for me. the light on the receiver just switches off soon as you press the sync button on the controller

The light on my receiver doesn't come on at all. I think it might be busted completely.

yeah if it doesn't start blinking after holding in the sync button then it's probably busted. might be worth looking into that fuse thing then

hahaha! indeed

I'm going to test mine tonight on splinter cell as well to see if it is a software problem or maybe just a Dark Souls malfunction

Good luck.

This may prove useful:

Go to the start menu and search for device manger and it should come up. What you're looking for is most likely under the tab human interface device, right click on the option you want to disable ( in our case hid-compliant game controller) and there should be an option to disable it . After you disable it restart your computer, and, hopefully , the button mapping will return to normal.

not 100% sure how that'll work, but at this stage I'll try anything

I take it the uninstal all drivers trick didn't work?
