### OSMC
OSMC uses a different permission group for input devices than Raspberry Pi OS does. Input devices work, but you will not have any of the extended DS4/DS5 controller features by default.
To fix this, run the following command and reboot:
```
sudo usermod -a -G input $USER
```
### Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye ### Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye
Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye defaults to a display driver that doesn't support Moonlight's low-latency H.264 decoder. Unless you have incompatible software on your Pi (like Kodi v19) or need HDR support, we recommend enabling the alternate driver as detailed below.

If you can stream HDR but it doesn't switch your TV to HDR mode, you are probably not using the Full KMS driver (`vc4-kms-v3d`) that is required for HDR metadata to be sent to your TV. Ensure your `/boot/config.txt` is updated to use `vc4-kms-v3d` (not `vc4-fkms-v3d`) and try again.

### PS4/PS5 controller features aren't working
This is likely caused by Moonlight not having permission to open `/dev/hidraw` devices on your Pi. This is a common issue on OSMC, which doesn't use the `input` group in the same way that Raspberry Pi OS does.
To fix this, run the following command and reboot:
```
sudo usermod -a -G input $USER

### No audio output or crackly audio output ### No audio output or crackly audio output
The Raspberry Pi OS team has [recently released an update](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-raspberry-pi-os-release-december-2020/) that switches from ALSA to PulseAudio for audio output. In response, Moonlight Qt v3.0.0 now defaults to using PulseAudio on the Raspberry Pi.
