    Headset mic

    PC Specs will help us help you.

    What is the brand/model of the headset mic combo?

    What front panel audio jack(s) do you have? Some are only mic or only headset, some can be either mic or headset whichever is plugged in and some are combination headset/mic.

    Bluetooth Headset - Windows 10 - appearing as Bluetooth hands-free

    I recently bough the following product from Amazon:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019ZEHA36/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Essentially it works in terms of connecting etc and bonding via Bluetooth.

    The issue lies with windows picking this up as a Bluetooth hands-free device, see icon below.
    Hands-free ICON

    This I think is part of the problem, furthermore, under sound control there is the following options, Stereo and Hands-free.
    Playback devices

    Please for the time being ignore that the headset is disconnected.

    Under recording devices its the following: Recording devices

    Putting all of this together I have the following options:

    • use the Handsfree option but suffer with low quality sound through headset (channel 1)
    • Use the Stereo as default - which means good quality sound (channel 2) - but also means that the device no longer has any Mic associated with it.

    Furthermore, searching across the web, it was noted to disable hands free "under services, under device manager". However this just means that it defaults to the Stereo every time and the hands free (which includes a Mic) does not work.

    I have also connected a USB blutooth device (running V10) as supposed to the internal, but still not luck. I have re-installed the device multiple times with reboots and removing it from devices.

    Please can someone help here with any suggestion, I am very close to just returning this item as its not working properly...
