Before I begin, let me say I already have the latest firmware, I have already power cycled both Lighthouses and the linkbox multiple times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the bluetooth software and drivers multiples times. I have tried reinstalling the entire vive itself once. I have also ensured the bluetooth communication option is checked in Vive settings.
No matter what I do the Lighthouses remain on after SteamVR has closed. The motors continue to run. I've taken to completely unplugging them when I am done for the night but each time I want to use them again, they do not automatically wake up when SteamVR is launched. Clicking to wake them all up also does nothing. I have to get a step ladder and climb up to manually set their channels each time.
Has anyone found a solution by chance? Does anyone else experience the same problem?
Does my computer require a Bluetooth USB dongle for this to work to begin with or will that just interfere?
Thank you for any help that can be provided!
