Solved Issue with sound on DS4 via Bluetooth

[gotogooch]

Hey, all.

So I've been using a DS4 on a Pi3 via the Sony proprietary Bluetooth dongle and works great. However, if I turn my Pi off and leave the dongle plugged in, the next time I turn it on there is no sound. I then plugged headphones into my DS4 and realized the Bluetooth dongle is high-jacking the audio on startup. I am not sure if this can be fixed within Recalbox or if I have to fix it on the Sony end somehow.

Has anyone else ever dealt with this? Any ideas? Please and thanks.

plug your dongle post boot, or blacklist your DS4 sound module

@rockaddicted Thank you for the reply. Can you please point me in the right direction on how to blacklist the sound module on my DS4?

Alright, I think I may have it. I'll try this out tonight:

Connect in ssh via putty
Mount partition : mount -o remount,rw /
Edit this file: nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add this line: blacklist snd-usb-audio
Save & reboot

Sound about right?
