Audio output quality drops drastically whenever my headphone's mic is being used (video of issue) included

[TEAM WORM]

You can really hear it the first time I join a call. There are weird gaps in the recording the other times the quality switches. I don't understand what the output panel is showing me tbh. This happens with other audio devices as well. Doesn't matter if discord is using my mic or OBS. I am on Windows 11, drivers were updated.

Strange... Have you tried another headset on the same system? I am just thinking that maybe your headset is short-circuiting.

If this is through Bluetooth it's normal, any time you use the mic it switches to "call" mode with crappy mono audio.

Can I make it not do that? it didn't used to do this (*edit: I guess I was using a dongle)

I have also used Galaxy Buds and experienced this

I'll be honest I don't know how to answer that besides just linking it https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Receiver-Wireless-Gaming-Headset/dp/B074VFVR89/ref=psdc_229575_t1_B01MXE0FKC

I'm now using pure bluetooth headphones

As Kilrah said those are wireless and probably what he described happens, try using a wired headset and tell us if you had any difference using them.

I can use a wired headset without this issue...but I want to use my nicer Bluetooth ones.

Yep so you had a gaming headset that has its own dedicated RF transmission system... those exist precisely to work around the limitations of Bluetooth.

Thanks for the info. That's honestly fucking ridiculous
