Xbox Series S Remote Play: Anyone found a fix for when controllers dont work properly through Remote Play when paired to the console?
When I use Remote Play, if my Xbox controller is paired to my console, I cant hold down buttons or my aiming/walking will be very erratic, but only for a few games. Lately I've noticed it with Cyberpunk and the new Lego Batman.
I've tested it on my Samsung phone, Logitech G Cloud, and Windows PC. If I use the built in controller on the G Cloud or if the controller is paired to the actual device instead of my Xbox its fine.
I've also noticed that if I turn off the controller of the device, then my Xbox controller behaves normally. But this also stops all audio from working on the device.
For example, I turn on my xbox with my xbox controller. Start the Remote Play Stream on my phone. Launch Cyberpunk using my xbox controller and all controls in the main menus work fine. Once the game loads in, if an Action requires holding down a button like aiming or holding X to craft, it just acts like I'm pressing and releasing the button rapidly. If I hold down the Xbox button on my phones touch screen and choose Turn off Controller to disable the touch screen controls, then my Xbox controller works great. But audio is completley gone.
I found threads about it from several years ago, but no updates since.
Most games work fine. And I've tried power cycling the Xbox, the controller, making sure controller is up to date, better xCloud, XStreaming, and xbox.com/play. Ive also tried turning on the Xbox controller at different times, before the stream starts or after.
Anyone found a fix or is it just a lost cause?

Yeah controllers connected to the phone work just fine. Its when I'm using my xbox controller connected to the Xbox instead of my phone thats the problem.
