    How do I enable my bluetooth headset mic?

    I have a Bluetooth headset with mic which works with my phone, and my other computer. When I connect to Windows 10 the speakers (headphones) work but the mic does not. The headset is paired with Bluetooth (headphones work). The device is listed under recording
    devices, enabled and is the default headphone and default headset. My other mic is disabled. The headset has the green tick under recording devices but the green sound levels only moves once on opening the panel, but does not move up and down when I talk.
    The mic is listed in other applications (eg Skype) but is not working. I have stopped and started Bluetooth devices and updated windows to ensure everything is up-to-date.

    As it works with other computers it seems like a windows problem and I have exhausted every available avenue.

    Any ideas?

    thanks

    Bluetooth headset as a 3.5mm mic?

    Hello everyone.

    I got a weird question for ya.

    I've tried several BT headsets as microphones for in-game communication, VOIP chat, vent, etc.
    I've tried Plantronics M55, M70, Some Bluetooth 4.0 headset with "HD audio" and some old Nokia models, bunch of em with various protocol support, hands-free, A2DP, and various Bluetooth USB dongles 2.0 to 4.0

    The problem is, all Bluetooth mics are extremely quiet AND pick up lots of noise (even if they are noise-cancelling). I've been reading threads from all over trying to figure out to make me sound clearer and louder, but the problem presists. I've ruled out hardware issues since ive tried different bt adapters, headsets, etc.

    On the other hand, the 3.5mm mic that I have, even the super cheap ones, all sound super loud and clear.

    Is there anything else I can possibly try to fix this?

    Cause as the topic states
    : the only idea that I have is, and it probably wont work - can I connect some BT to 3.5mm receiver to the mic port, and pair a bt headset to it, so Windows treats it like 3.5mm mic instead of a regular headset? And if I do that, how can I still hear others over the same BT headset if its paired to the adapter/receiver?

    I need it to be wireless, 3.5 obviously isnt.

    I've checked a bunch of receivers - they all have the same problem, they can't receive and transmit at the same time to emulate a 3.5mm mic.

    For now I turned myself up in Vent, so im louder, but it also increases my background noise or something, my room is quiet, on 3.5mm in loud and clear.

    Is there a bluetooth headset that guaranteed to be loud and clear? That has extensive mic control in Windows?

    Thanks.

  4. Unable to enable the bluetooth headset mic

    Bluetooth headset mic does not work with newly built PC

    Recently built a PC with ASRock B550 ITX/ac motherboard. I am using a wireless bluetooth headphones (similar to airpods).

    The sound is great, however, I am unable to record anything through the built-in mic.

    System: Windows 10

    Problem: Connect a bluetooth headset to the PC; The sound works; the mic doesn't work seemingly

    Things I have tried:

    1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Realtek sound drivers
    2. uninstalling and reinstalling bluetooth drivers
    3. Using the same headphones on a laptop - both sound and mic work as expected
    4. Using another pair of bluetooth headphones on my desktop PC - same issue persists
    Above are the main solutions I was able to find online, however, if anyone here has other suggestions, that would be great!

    Thanks!
