Good day,

I've tried to disable my telephony today because whenever I play an FPS game my audio becomes low quality/ hands free mode. Disabling it worked like magic and now my audio became so much clearer. however after doing so I saw that my input device doesnt detect my microphone anymore thats built-in on my headset. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello there! I'm glad to help you today!

Unfortunately, no. You will need a separate microphone to both use high quality audio, and microphone use. Or you will have to stick to low quality audio+microphone by enabling hands-free mode.

Bluetooth headsets can only use one mode at a time, which is why you get good sound or a working mic, but not both together.

Unless your Bluetooth headset have a dedicated dongle that can enable both at the same time.
