Xbox wireless controller issue

Vliro

I just cannot get the wireless controller working for some reason. I am using a third party device, however it identifies as Microsoft Wireless Receiver. It works just fine on my linux pc, as well as on the Pi out-of-the-box when it runs Raspbian; non of the other operating systems though. In dmesg it reports the error "xpad_irq_in non-zero urb received, error -71", and then I get no more response, having to reconnect constantly but just not working.

Ah, pardon me! Must be quite tired to miss that.

Pi Model or other hardware: RPI3
Power Supply used: The recommended one from my local retailer(Deltaco USB Power supply 5V/2.5A)
RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.2
Built From: (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website, Berryboot, or on top of existing OS etc.. - please provide the filename of any image used) Pre-made SD Image
USB Devices connected: USB Sound card(7.1 Generic Virtual), Logitech Keyboard Wireless Adapter, X360 Wireless Receiver
Controller used: Official Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Error messages received: xpad_irq_in non-zero urb received, error -71, then disconnects.
File: (File with issue - with FULL path): Probably an issue with libusb, not sure. Otherwise /usr/bin/xboxdrv.
How to replicate the problem: Using a wireless receiver(AKORD X360 Receiver), and plugging in a controller, experiencing a multitude of issues.

The adapter mentions 500mA; I assumed it was a power issue at first but considering it works just fine under Raspbian makes me confused.

@Vliro
Which driver are you using Xpad or Xboxdrv?

I would recommend the Xpad driver because there's some issues with the current Kernel and the Xboxdrv.

Now I see that you're also using a USB sound card. When you're using Raspbian, are you also using this same USB sound card? I would also recommend testing without the USB sound card.

I've been attempting to use both drivers, however this test used Xpad. Yes I am, the same devices were active under raspbian and RetroPie. I also tried with OSMC, however it failed as well.

I'm curious if there is any way to merge the usb/xpad drivers from Raspbian Pixel to RetroPie, since it works flawlessly out of the box, LED's and zero issues; even with the xbox normal controller(wired) I faced issues with LED's yet they work fine on Raspbian.

@Vliro If you disable the xpad driver in RetroPie you get the kernel xpad driver, which is the same between RetroPie and Raspbian (RetroPie images are Raspbian).
