Dialogue Gamepass/EA Play and Controller

Jedi Survivor.

i have an issue where on my PC (I9, 4090, Win11) that the dialogue for Cal and I believe others is extremely low and unplayable.

I also have an issue where the controller (Xbox connected via USB) flickers between controller and keyboard and even when it does work it has all the wrong mappings etc.

odd thing is that when I stream the game via Sunshine to my Steam Deck it works fine without issue (this is done with a virtual monitor set to Steam decks resolution as my desktop is an UW monitor)

Is there some settings I need to check on or some fix?  The game is launched via EA App and is from the Xbox gamepass / EA play sub.
