I am trying to use a 64x kali linux 2021.3 on virtual box and set up bluetooth. sudo systemctl status bluetooth says it is active and running, and hciconfig says there is an hci0 that is down. However hci0 up gives the error "Can't init device hci0: Input/output error (5) and I have not been able to find any information on this error.
