  1. Windows 10 Bluetooth Audio Not Working When MIC is Active


    So I've been having this issue on Windows 10 since forever, I have a bluetooth headset and whenever its mic is in use from an app, I lose audio on the headset. Basically, the mic and audio don't work simultaneously, its either one and I can't figure out why. Windows troubleshoot cannot identify the issue and I can't really find a similar issue anywhere else. I've tried another bluetooth headset and its the same issue.


    Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

    :)

    Front Panel Headphones and Mic not working.

    Hey Everyone,

    Mobo : ASUS M2N MX SE
    Processor : AMD Athlon X2 5200+
    OS : Windows XP Professional SP2 x86

    My Rear panel Speakers and mic works all fine. I got a new set of headphones(with mic) when i connect it to the front panel they don't work. NO SOUND OUTPUT.

    I updated the audio drivers. I tried a few many things but I still can't get them running.
    My default Sound Manager is Realtek HD Audio Manager.

    Please help me get my Front Panel working. A step-by-step guide would be better.
    Thanks.

  3. Handsfree mic bluetooth does not work

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply and appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

    • Were you able to either update or reinstall the Bluetooth driver on the PC?

    Step 1: Suggest you to set the audio device as default and check if that helps.

    Refer to the steps under the section ‘Set default device’ from this article.

    Step2: Further, you may also want to uninstall the Bluetooth driver from Device Manager and reinstall the latest driver to check if that helps.

    Refer to the steps under the section ‘Uninstall the Bluetooth adapter in Device Manager’ from this article.

    The BthHFSrv is the Bluetooth hands free service. This service enables wireless Bluetooth headsets to run on your computer. If this service is stopped or disabled, then Bluetooth headsets will not function properly with this machine.

    Let us know the result of the steps performed so that we can help you further.

    Awaiting your reply.

    Windows 10 Bluetooth Audio Not Working When MIC is Active

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

    I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

    Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision
