Bluetooth audio is now far better than before. People love to listen to music and attend their calls via Bluetooth headset. But after an upgrade of Windows 10, the Bluetooth is still as bad as it was with the earlier Windows version.
Bluetooth Doesn’t Support High-Quality Audio When a Microphone Is In Use:
If you have an integrated microphone with your headset, you can’t use the headset with usual sound quality while using the microphone. Technically, when you use it as an output device to listen to music, Windows is using A2DP Bluetooth profile and ideally using AptX for high-quality sound. When you use microphone, Windows use headset profile (HSF) or hands-free profile (HFP). This permits for both recording via microphone and playback via headphones, but the headphones sound quality become terrible while using headset profile or hands-free profile.
Using a Bluetooth headset just to make a call, that may be fine. But if you want to speak into headset microphone while listening to the music, playing a game or browsing a video on your computer, you’ll be frustrated.
Windows Shows the Profiles as Different Audio Devices
When you link a Bluetooth headset with a microphone to Windows, you’ll find two devices: The standard A2DP headset profile and hands-free profile that has poor sound output but also support sound input. This makes applications confused. When you make an audio call via headset, the hands-free audio mode work properly. But when you start playing games hands-free device didn’t work. You need to go to Windows sound properties and manually disable the A2DP device which enforced the game to utilize hands-free profile as actual output sound. The sound quality becomes very compressed and low quality but it is audible.
In other words, Bluetooth profile switching baffles some Windows applications unless you change it manually which makes it frustrating.
Bluetooth Connections Are Still Unreliable
Sometimes, Bluetooth headset gets disconnected from the computer, even while you are seating just a few feet away from the PC. You need to power off the Bluetooth headset and turn it back on to troubleshoot the problem- restart the headset. When connection is established again, some of the applications work smoothly but some don’t which shows standard Bluetooth headset with PC doesn’t seem as reliable.
