Hello, thank you in advance for any help. I have a strange issue and I dont really understand whats happening.
I have a fightstick that uses a board from Brooke (Snackbox Micro) that connects through USB C > USB. When connected normally through USB, it will not show up in controllers or in game. I have a USB C - USB C port on my motherboard, and when i connect using that port alone the stick appears as normal and works perfectly. I am at a total loss.
The stick appears under lsusb when connected from USBC to USBC, when connected normally, the stick glows showing it is connected but nothing appears. I am seriously stumped on this one and any help would be appreciated. I can use this stick on my machine, but its no fun if i cant take it anywhere haha.

I have also tested this stick with a known good working cable and tested on 2 machines in the house running garuda. Only my main PC with the USBC to USBC will work.
I know its a weird issue, but I appreciate any help, and i hope this is the right place to ask. Thank you again.
