Describe the Bug

This one might be a bit different then the other bugs I've seen in here.

First off, when playing games the drive/controller work great.

The issue is that when I'm no longer playing games and the controller is disconnected from bluetooth, all my other devices will eventually stop working. The most prominent being my headphones. They will suddenly stop working, even though bluetooth shows them as still being connected. Usually 2 back to back restarts of the bluetooth service will cause everything to reconnect. Though sometimes I'll have to resort to using "bluetoothctl" to toggle the power to the controller on and off.

However, if the controller is connected, either while playing a game or just tapping the buttons occasionally to prevent it from powering off and disconnecting, I can go all day without the head phones and other devices disconnecting.

I'm not yet familiar with the more advanced settings that can be applied to the bluetooth devices and the bluetooth controller, so I looking for some guidance into what configuration might have been change with the installation of this driver that could effect the connectivity of other bluetooth devices when it is not actively connected to the controller.

Using package management to uninstall the controller is not reverting which ever change it is that triggered this issue to start happening.

Steps to Reproduce

Let the xbox controller disconnect

Expected Behavior

Head phones should continue to work indefinately
