8BitDo Pro 2 / rPi 3 B+ / Controller NOT detected

[BOne72]

Hi ...

I have an issue with getting my 8BitDo Pro 2 Wired gamepad to work in RetroPie . I get to the GUI, but somehow the controller's not detected . There's a green light flashing on the controller, exactly the first one from the left .

It's a gamepad for Switch / Windows ...
but on the retail supplier's web-page it was defined to work with PC / Android / XBox, etc . being kind of a universal controller ...
I believe .

Could it be an issue with power ...
What would you think, would it make any difference if I had a externally powered USB - hub in between the gamepad and the rPi ?

Thank You, for reading out ...
BOne .

Try installing driver if any for the gamepad

Hi …

It was an issue with power .
After hooking up via ext . powered usb - hub the game pad got detected .

Now …
Something with audio ;
Is it possible to use a usb - audio interface for game sounds . I have a Behringer’s UMC202HD .
If yes, then do I need some extra drivers for it,
cause in Linux it generally is working out-of-the-box .

Thanks again,
BOne .

@BOne72 I am happy that you have fixed your previous problem...

I am not sure with the audio as I usually connect audio from my monitor as you know audio is also transmitted with video through HDMI cable.

I think you must do some changes in your settings...

Try checking Retopi-setup or raspberrypi-setup....
