Bad Microphone Quality after turning on Audio Enhancements

Hello,

There are a few things you can try to improve the microphone quality while keeping Audio Enhancements on. Here are some suggestions:

1. Configure your input device settings: You can adjust the input volume and change the format quality to see if it improves the microphone quality. To do this, go to Settings > Sound and scroll down to the Input section. Adjust the input volume, change the format quality, and test your microphone.
   
2. Update your audio drivers: Outdated drivers can sometimes cause problems, so make sure your audio drivers are up-to-date .
   
3. Use a noise reduction feature: If you’re dealing with background noise, try using a noise reduction feature to eliminate microphone background noise .
   
4. Use a dedicated microphone or headset: Many laptops have low-quality built-in microphones. Try plugging in a dedicated microphone or headset into your PC.
   

I hope these suggestions help you improve the microphone quality while keeping Audio Enhancements on! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Audio quality drops when using microphone

Bluetooth devices have 2 modes: Stereo and Hands-free, when the microphone is used, the Bluetooth device goes from the Stereo mode to the Hands-free mode.

The hands-free mode has a lower audio quality compared to the Stereo mode. That is why when you join a call, the audio quality drops. This is a limitation of the Bluetooth protocols on these devices.
