i want to update the firmware on my dualsense controller and installed the necessary app on a vm. it opens but when i plug in the controller the app seems to crash. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting but it keeps crashing. does anyone have any potential fixes?

I suggest using QEMU/KVM with automatic USB redirection, I updated my Dualsense yesterday that way with no problems. iirc automatic USB redirection is available on VirtualBox too.
