🎮Tool Fixes Bluetooth Passthrough for Proxmox VMs
Your gaming VM just got a Bluetooth upgrade
TL;DR
A new tool bridges your host's Bluetooth chip to any Linux-supported Proxmox VM, fixing passthrough issues for Intel chips and gaming distros. No need for extra hardware.
Intel onboard chips (BE200, AX210, AX211) don't support Bluetooth passthrough in Proxmox VMs out of the box. But a new tool bridges your host's chip to any Linux-supported VM over the network with just two commands. This fix works for gaming distros like ChimeraOS and Bazzite where USB passthrough fails. It supports controllers, headphones, and Home Assistant sensors without adding latency or requiring extra hardware. If you're running Proxmox with a gaming VM, this is a must-have.
Key Points
Works with any Linux-supported chip; survives reboots for Xbox/PlayStation controllers, headphones, Home Assistant sensors
Shares Bluetooth chip over network using a tiny bridge on port 9700 without authentication (suitable for home networks)
Pauses and resumes sharing with commands --pause and --resume; uninstalls completely with --uninstall
Supports multiple chips on host; shares specific one with command ./install.sh --adapter <number>
Fixes Intel chip boot state issues by shutting down, flipping power supply off for 15 seconds before rebooting
Why It Matters
If you're running a gaming VM in Proxmox and struggle with Bluetooth passthrough, this tool bridges your host's Bluetooth chip to the VM over the network. It works with any Linux-supported chip, supports controllers, headphones, and sensors, and survives reboots. No extra hardware needed.
