Dolphin won't detect input from Wiimote

[Miss Hooman]

I've had this problem for a while now, and apparently reinstalling windows did nothing, and nor did updating to the latest version of Dolphin.

I can connect my Wiimote to my PC as usual, and it even works with programs such as GlovePIE and it is detected by Dolphin (the LEDs light up according to what player my Wiimote is set to in Dolphin), but Dolphin won't accept any input from it.
I booted up Mario Kart Wii and after sitting waiting for the safety screen to go away since I couldn't press anything, I eventually found that when I disconnect or reconnect my nunchuck, it listens to my inputs for a second. If I'm not doing that constantly then it doesn't register any of my button presses.
I've checked that Dolphin works perfectly with other input such as my keyboard, but I'd much prefer to use my Wiimote but I have no idea how to solve this.

I'm happy to give any other information needed to solve this, and I appologise if the solution is staring me in the face.

Thanks !

Do you have Steam open? They recently added Wiimote support that is messing with Dolphin. If so, just close Steam

I am having this same issues as well. Recently, I got a new PC with Windows 11 using the Mayflash sensor bar. I can hook the Wii remote up and the light could occasionally got to the 4th player position. However, when I try to play a game like Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics, Godzilla Unleashed, or Mario Kart Wii the button inputs will not work. Ill get to the safety screen and click each button and nothing works on it. The power button on the wii remote is the only one that works. It's a first party controller that I have used previously the exact same way before. Not sure what's going on with it. If there is a way around it or if any new info is needed let me know. Ill try and answer as soon as I can.

Thanks, I hadn't realised Steam added that functionality!
