Need help with headphones

[YourNewPalAlex]

Hi! i have the sony WH 1000XM2, and when i connect them i have 2 connected devices, the hands free version of the headphones or the stereo version.

Ok when i join a call and play for example csgo the audio from csgo and discord HAVE to be coming out of the "Hands free" version of the headphones.

and the hands free version is mono and crappy quality. So how do i make csgo and discord go trough the stereo version ? i tried switching devices on csgo and discord but it doesnt work

This is a limitation of the Bluetooth standard, you can't have two way transmission and HQ stereo playback simultaneously.

Doesn't look like the analog jack supports the mic, as in you can only carry stereo audio over the analog connection. Unfortunately, at least as far as I know, you can't use the Bluetooth connection for the mic and the analog connection for playback simultaneously either.

You could spring for a cable with a built-mic or something, but at that point I'd probably be looking for a way to use the Bluetooth connection for playback and use a separate USB mic or something for input.
