Device: http://tinyurl.com/y2zuoaq3 Previous device with the same issue: http://tinyurl.com/y5phkhn6 Problem description: Any time I connect to a voice system like Discord or Skype that uses the mic for my headset/headphones, the headphones immediately go dead. If I want to hear anything, I have to set the audio device to the headset, which is always, inexplicably, of super lovely quality. Attempted fixes: This is the second set of BT headphone/headset that has pulled this poo poo. I've found that straight up disabling the headphones can save me a lot of time messing with program settings just trying to get anything to work at all, but that's pretty far from optimal. Recent changes: No. Been dealing with this for over a year. -- Operating system: Win 10 Home x64 System specs: i5-3570k, 16GB RAM, 4GB GTX 1080, Sandisk 450MB SSD, 650W PS, Intel 7 Series MB(?) Location: Kansas I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes Is this just a BlueTooth "feature" that I wasn't aware of?

I don't know about the audio disconnect issue, but I can speak to the lovely sound quality part of it. It's a "feature" of Bluetooth: when the headset detects that the microphone is active, it decides you're on a phone call and as such don't need much audio bandwidth. It then immediately sends your audio quality to hell for your convenience. For this reason alone I'd advise against using a Bluetooth headset for anything that requires better audio quality than voice calls. I hate to suggest buying more stuff as a solution, but if you want to use a wireless headset, you'll get a better experience using a wireless gaming headset, which typically comes with a USB dongle rather than using Bluetooth. Using a standalone mic instead of the headset mic should circumvent the (audio quality) problem as well.

Thanks for the information.
