    Another option to avoid the Bluetooth device entering Hands-Free mode is to disable the Hands-free audio device in Sound settings.
    Go to Settings > System > Sound > More Sound Settings > Playback tab > Right-click the Hands-free audio device > Disable. Do the same on the Recording tab.

    I agree with @Rodrigo Queiroz

    (Go to Settings > System > Sound > More Sound Settings > Playback tab > Right-click the Hands-free audio device > Disable. Do the same on the Recording tab.)

    Just want to add that in most cases, it stays disabled after reboot unless

    • You remove and re-pair the earbuds
    • Windows updates your Bluetooth drivers and re-enables them
    • Or if you reset your FreeBuds

    You can also manually force to use of Stereo Audio by following these steps:

    -
    Click the volume icon in the taskbar

    • Click the arrow (>) to expand audio outputs
    • Choose the one that ends in Stereo, not Hands-Free
    • You’ll usually see Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 Stereo and Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 Hands-Free AG Audio.
      You can choose the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 Stereo and avoid the other one.
