Hey guys, how is it going?
I’m having some trouble running a pair of DualSense controllers over bluetooth.
When one controller is connected everything works fine, I’ve run it for several hours between weeks and no problem so far. But, when I try to connect a second controller to play with my girlfriend, after a random time one of the controllers disconnect and refuses to connect again.
It’s a pain in the ass to connect after that, usually we have to turn both controllers off and on again several times until we can connect both. Usually I just get tired of trying to reconnect the problematic controller and run it with a cable, which works fine every time.
The time between disconnects is completely random, varying from one controller not being able to connect from the beginning, to disconnecting after 15/30/40/60/90/120 minutes.
Here’s some infos about my bluetooth.

dmesg output (last time this issue have happened was January 18 late night):
https://gist.github.com/OliRafa/44e0b20cee44b36b513b3c6debb50561
As you can see, I’ve tried to update my system to kernel v5.16 to see if the changes made to iwlwifi could improve this problem, but after that started appearing this message here Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to read codec capabilities (-56) (as can be seen in the dmesg output). It seemed harder to reconnect also, comparing to kernel v5.15.
Do you guys have any idea what’s being causing this issues? Is there any more logs I can provide to help?
Thanks in advance!
