wiimote turns off after a short time

So I bought a new wiimote.
My first problem was the wiimote connected to my pc, but it wouldn't work in game. I'm a resourceful guy so after an hour or so I had the toshiba bluetooth drivers installed and the controller started working in-game.
Now the problem is that after a very short amount of time of playing the controller disconnects. I can leave it running connected to my computer for an indefinite amount of time and it doesn't seem to have any issues, but after something like 30 seconds of game the leds go black and I need to close dolphin, and reconnect in the toshiba driver.
First I tried playing paper mario and the controller died right around the time bowser showed up for the first time and started muhaha-ing. Then I tried twilight princess and the controller died on the save screen, after I moved it around a little bit to see if my sensor was accurate.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. My specs shouldn't matter but if they do they're on my profile. The wiimote is not a genuine one.

Also is there some way to calibrate/test the motion sensor?

Two possibilities are that it's a flat battery or that it isn't genuine.

There are things you could try, such as disabling the WiiMote speaker or checking alternate Wiimote timing.

The battery should be fine, I had the wiimote sitting on my table for the last hour and it hasn't died, it only seems to happen when I play a game.

Where do I change these settings? My wiimote settings list is minimal.

Goto you game -> right click -> properties -> Alternate Wiimote Timing.

Just change the batteries for fresh ones, as this is the most likely thing to cause this problem. If that doesn't work set the Wiimote speaker volume to the minimum and check alternate Wiimote timing, found by right clicking on a game and selecting properties.
You type posted me. It doesn't look like it, though, because I got distracted from typing.

Okay thanks.
I tried it, but it didn't work. Same thing as last time, about 30 seconds into the game it died on me. Tried it with all 3 states (checked, unchecked and full box), no difference.

Any other ideas?

I'm also working under the impression the toshiba drivers might not be the best choice. Any other drivers you guys would recommend? The windows ones didn't work.

The Toshiba stack is the best. I'd still recommend changing the batteries.

Alright I tried switching from the battery pack to regular batteries. Problem still persists.

So it's not timings and it's not batteries. Any other ideas?

What, did I win a post race?

If you know someone with a real Nintendo Wiimote ask them if you can borrow it. Test if it works, because that will show you if there is a real problem, or it's the 3rd party Wiimote's fault.

I'm thinking it's the controller too.
I managed to "fix" the problem from what I can see. I was disabling random shit until it worked and when I disabled rumble it stopped disconnecting (I got the idea for rumble when you pointed out that sound output could cause it to disconnect, I figured rumble would be similar).
As far as I can tell it's working now.
Thanks for the help on that.

Now I need something to calibrate my wiimote, it jumps around a lot on my screen, and I think I'm getting some latency issues.
Is there any good homebrew that could help me out here?
