Thanks for the share... been using a Beelink SER8 for about 6 months or so with Chimera, which has been mostly okay... I have to reset audio out to hdmi each boot and a couple other niggles with the Bluetooth controllers. May need to switch to ones that use custom/proprietary USB dongles with lower latency.


Hi there! I'm running the exact same setup and have encountered the same issues.

I have a little bash script [1] which I run on startup to fix the HDMI audio issue. I haven't got crontab working yet so I ssh in and run it manually.

I've tried 3 different controllers and ended up buying the 8bitDo ultimate as it supports 2.4g as well as Bluetooth. Also purchased a separate Bluetooth dongle and a usb extension cable to keep it away from any interference from the Beelink. Still have major issues with connectivity over a reasonably short distance (3-4m) in either mode.

Love the SER8 though, it's a great little machine and is well priced when on offer.

Had been looking at a one of the same controllers, using two over 2.4g with their dongle(s). May reset the whole thing when I do... have had trouble with the second connected controller always being controller 1, that I can't seem to fix.
