DualSense controller with Steam Input enabled causes game "Lies of P" freeze and controller malfunction when using Steam Client Beta
ISSUE
DualSense controller via Bluetooth with Steam Input enabled causes game "Lies of P" to freeze and malfunction of controller when using Steam Client Beta.

OS
Arch Linux
Kernel: 6.15.8-arch1-2
DE: Plasma 6.4.3

STEPS
Connect DualSense controller via bluetooth
Select LIBRARY from the main menu
Select ALL GAMES
Select Lies of P
Navigate to Manage -> Controller Layout
Enable Steam Input
Start game Lies of P

RESULTS
Approximately 2 minutes and 10 seconds into playing the game, the game will briefly freeze with uninterrupted audio, and the controller will only work sporadically, and will continue to freeze the game. Disconnecting the controller ceases the game freezing issue. When attempting to reconnect the controller, it will connect but will not be detected with the following errors from journalctl:

Jul 31 21:51:47 arch-desktop kernel: playstation 0005:054C:0CE6.0011: probe with driver playstation failed with error -5
This behavior continues unless Bluetooth service or PC is restarted.

EXPECTED
Controller continues to work without issue and does not freeze game. Confirmed that this only affects the Steam Beta Client, and this bug is not reproducible on the NON-Beta Client.
