xpadneo VS bluez

In the other distros I've tried (ubuntu / pop os) I usually solve the problem by installing xpadneo using the official method that can be found here. But this doesn't seem to be working in this case. I've already tried using gnome bluetooth settings, blueman and bluetoothctl.

That was more than a year ago though and it seems some people are working on linux drivers. xpadneo is probably a good starting point: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

If that doesn't work either, I would try making an issue on their github and asking there: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues

2) install https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo

This very same controller has worked on this very same physical computer in the past, but under Ubuntu using the xpadneo driver (https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/). One day, for no reason as near as I can tell, it simply stopped working and showed the exact same symptoms as above (controller works for phone, not for PC, doesn't show up in bluetooth list. Other bluetooth devices work fine with the PC). This triggered my distro-hop to Endeavour just to discover the exact same issue.

You can try this custom mapping from xpadneo: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/blob/master/docs/SDL.md

5.68 with the fix is out: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/releases/tag/5.68

These are some links I checked and followed: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/blob/master/test/simple-agent https://scribles.net/creating-ble-gatt-server-uart-service-on-raspberry-pi/

For more information, see https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/157 ```

The only issue I have is that I can't use LDAC with my bluetooth headphones (Sony WF-1000XM4). This is probably related to bluez: https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/313 It's fixed in bluez 5.65 which is not available in the repositories (yet). The current repository version of bluez is 5.64.

I am sorry but this is still not clear enough. I will assume that you are using a Linux based system e.g a raspberry pi and a Xbox one series x/s controller (the one with the share button). If this is the case, I have bad news for you: they still didn’t fix the problem with the Bluetooth ble inside the Bluetooth stack implementation on most Linuxes OS (Debian, Ubuntu or anything that uses BLUEZ). If the controller is not the latest BLE version, it is only a matter of updating it to a newer kernel (5.13 or higher) and the latest blues version, as there was also another problem that was solved for the older controllers. If you are in the first case where they didn’t fixed it yet. You can report it on GitHub or just follow this issue https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/155 to check if something new comes up, there is also the possibility to use a Bluetooth dongle and somehow “transplant” the pairing keys from a windows computer to Linux so that the controller leaves this “connection loop”. Check that GitHub issue or this https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues/198
