Wii mote freezes during gameplay - Luke Ace - 11-01-2021

Hi guys
It's my first post here.
I have some issue with my Wii mote and Dolphin.
It seems that everything works perfectly but after some time of playing - around 10 minutes my Wii mote freezes and and only way to make it works again is to take off batteries and reconnect to the PC.
I belive it's a bug and there must be a way to fix this, becouse when it works it seems almost flawless. It happens in most games.
I use Dolphnin 5.0 15260, Windows 10, non original Wii mote "2in1".
Please help, cheers.

Have you tried bluetooth passthrough?

Thank You for fast response.
Yes, I've tried this option, but even after updating drivers with Zadig, can't connect Wii mote to pc. It simply doesn't response at all. I push "red button" and sync in Doplhin and nothing happens.
I've allready ordered one of the "supported" BT dongles, and will see what happens. But I hope it is fixable with standard settings. As i said, for few minutes it works like a charm.

Little update for further useres.
I bought BT dongle wich is on the "supported list", particulary Ugreen BT 4.0 based on 8510 chipset. It didn't want to work properly (freezes after couple of minutes) in "emulation mode" as previous one, and in "Passtrough mode" either. I had to manualy configure it with this instructions [url=https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-bluetooth-passthrough?pid=426664#pid426664] and finally could connect Wiimote to the PC.
Now it kinda works - kinda becouse i need to Sync mote after every system restart (any suggestions?) and it has greater deelay than on previous dongle[maybe it's BT 5.0(usb 3.0) vs 4.0(usb2.0)?. But I suppose it's better to have delay than non working pad.
Cheers
