Windows 10: Bluetooth Earbuds will not let me hear anything when mic is in use?

Device: ENACFIRE E60 Bluetooth Earbuds that function as both a microphone & headset.



I'm trying to use the mic that comes with the earbuds, however, whenever the mic is being used by any program I can no longer hear anything through it.


I went into the playback tab and realized that my computer is actually registering the sound but I'm not actually hearing anything through them. Image below is playback tab





The issue only persists when I use ENACFIRE Stereo. The only reason I'm not simply converting over to Hands-Free right now is because the audio on it is absolutely horrid.


Help would be appreciated.

Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

• In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
  
• In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
  
• In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab

So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?

 

Bluetooth Earbuds - Paired not Connecting...

Also wanted to add really quick, I use a bluetooth speaker and it connected perfectly fine...I'm only ever having an issue with bluetooth earbuds...
At first I thought it was because there was two signals one for output and mic for input...but the speaker also has a mic and two signals.

 

Using the Built-In Mic Instead of Earbud Mic

Hi all,

I've had this problem for a while now where no matter what kind of earbuds I'm wearing, the default recording device is always the built-in microphone on my laptop.

I've opened up recording settings and I don't see a specific device listed as the in-line mic built into my earbuds, but when I use these earbuds on my phone I am able to use the microphone seamlessly.

For further information, the default recording device on my computer is listed as Realtek High Definition Audio, and I've done several tests to confirm that it is indeed the mic that is built into my Asus laptop.

Much thanks and cheers.
