I just want to permanently disable the speaker and mic on these controllers. I have the same problem on linux as I did on windows. Sometimes the mic and/or speakers on the controller get selected as primary devices when I plug it in, forcing me to make my real mic and speakers the default again. I will never ever use the controller audio, its terrible and only serves as a nuisance.

Run pavucontrol
and disable those devices.
EDIT: Let me grab my laptop and I'll tell you precisely where that is. One moment.
EDIT2: On the Configuration tab, for "Profile" for that device, choose "Off".
Oh wow
