Windows 10: Why Does My Audio Turn Stereo When I Change My Microphone To Headset Microphone?

My bluetooth headphones' microphone was always the default microphone. But when I join meetings on Google Meet, the microphone is always set in the laptop's microphone. Not my headset's. This is also the reason why people are having trouble hearing me when I speak. And when I change it to the headset microphone, the audio ALWAYS becomes stereo. And only when I reset my settings in the sound settings, or when I reconnect my headphones, will the audio return to normal.Please help me solve this issue.

Computer won't recognize headset microphone

This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

 

laptop not detecting headset microphone

I can see 1 microphone the Realtek(R) Audio and the stereo mix.

But I can't see the headset mic as it's currently muted and the green bar on Realktek(R) Audio Microphone is going up when I speak.

So there must be something wrong.

Allow your Windows 10 system and your application to access your headset microphone before you can use it. Go to Settings --> Privacy --> Microphone and click the Change button, then make sure Microphone for this device is turned on. Make sure Allow apps to access your microphone is turned on.

Head over to Control Panel --> Troubleshooting --> Hardware and Sound --> Recording Audio.
