i want to update the firmware on my dualsense controller and installed the necessary app on a vm. it opens but when i plug in the controller the app seems to crash. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting but it keeps crashing. does anyone have any potential fixes?

@Chiivo

The app is most likely disconnecting and reconnecting the controller or making it connect as another device through the process the moment that happens the device is not passed back through or not as the fully same device so apps fail.

This is similar to things like VR and boom microphones

Could you pass through a USB port or a hub instead of the device itself?
