Hey everyone! I recently completed a new build with the ASUS B650-E WIFI motherboard, and while everything else is functioning well, I've been running into some issues with Bluetooth. I tried connecting my PS5 DualSense controller and a generic Bluetooth speaker, but neither seems to work properly, even though they're less than three feet away from the tower (albeit through a wood desk). My previous MSI build had no Bluetooth issues in the same setup, so I'm wondering if the Bluetooth functionality on this motherboard is just not great. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Bluetooth driver multiple times, but here's something odd: when I connect the DualSense controller via USB, it doesn't work well either, unless I'm using a USB-C to USB-C cable. The DualSense firmware is up to date, and I even bought a separate Bluetooth adapter to test, but I'd prefer to make the native Bluetooth work if possible. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Did you connect the antennae to the ports on the I/O plate? That could be affecting your Bluetooth range and performance.
Definitely! The antenna can significantly improve Bluetooth performance, so it's worth trying.
Just an update, connecting the antennae seems to have improved things a bit, but I'm still facing disconnect issues with the DualSense controller sometimes.
I didn't connect the antennae since I'm hardwired for the internet. I'm guessing they might help with Bluetooth too, right?
