Few things wrong with the recent controller updates

First of all, the header note: This is not duplicated post or shares any contents. Please consider the contents before removing the post like my other post( The other post was removed because "related to other later post of non-insider on Xbox app via bluetooth support"?)

Now, the details:

1. There is a short-latency to audio using headphones connected to the controller(longer latency comparing to prior the update, I had restored to General available ring to test this out, firmware can be reverted in this official OS version).
2. There is distorted audio in-game while using spatial audio ( Forza, Assassin Creeds, Dragon Quest )
3. The battery life seems to be shorten a little bit ( check on Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, the Xbox One S variant is using a b@d@ rechargeable AA battery so I cannot test on this controller)
4. After firmware update, Xbox Accessories on Xbox console can detect the controller wirelessly and wired; however, the same app on PC Windows 11 cannot detect the controller wirelessly and wired, it can detect the controller via Bluetooth connection though.
5. Name of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is wrong on Bluetooth(now it says Xbox Wireless Controller)
6. Switching to Bluetooth can be problematic sometimes on Windows 10-11. It says connected with reported battery life but it won't register any input. However, that is a bug for Windows Bluetooth LE. The connection is bugged and even if turn off the controller, Windows still reports battery life and connection(ghost information). Turn on the controller won't connect. Only turn off the Windows Bluetooth, or the Bluetooth will die, restart Windows, the controller will connect fine for several times until bugged again. This doesn't happen on original firmware, but can happen on other Bluetooth LE devices(phones, headphones)
