    Audio Format Greyed Out On Bluetooth Headphones


    I've had some audio quality trouble recently in the last couple weeks, and I think it has to do with the fact that the audio format on the bluetooth can't be changed from Tape recorder setting in the Headphones Audio Format. All drivers are up to date, bluetooth adapter is compatible with me PC, all windows updates are done and it's still there. If someone would be able to help me out this would be greatly appreciated for since this is been an issue for weeks.

    :)

  3. Headphones Advanced Format Settings Greyed Out

    So I've been trying to turn up the sound quality on my headphones just to see what it's like.

    What I do is go to the sound control panel and open the properties for my headphones, then I navigate to the "Advanced" tab to change the default

    format, but once I get there the option to change the frequency is greyed out and I can't change it.

    Since it's bluetooth I can't change it in my Realtek audio manager either.

    I use Skullcandy Hesh 3 Stereo headphones on bluetooth mode

    Anything helps!

    Stereo Bluetooth Headphones do not reproduce stereo sound

    Bluetooth 4.x headsets (headphones with microphone) have two modes:
    1. Stereo headset speakers with NO microphone
    2. Mono headset speakers with microphone

    I see in the listing for your headphones it shows a microphone. Make sure your the audio is configured correctly so that you have stereo headphone speakers.

    With your headphones connected with Bluetooth

    Left-click on little speaker (bottom right on desktop)

    You should see current speaker for computer
    In this example headphones in stereo is selected
