How to fix my A2DP driver?

Question

Hi,

I have a problem with the A2DP driver, so basically the sound quality is very bad when I use my microphone, and also it doesn't even connect to my headphones sometimes, it shows connected in my Bluetooth menu, but the audio is just switching from the headphones to internal speakers and in a loop. Also, I have seen those Alternative A2DP drivers, but I don't want to pay because of personal reasons.

My headphones - JBL Vibe Beam 2

My PC - Win 11 26h2

Pls help. ASAP

Thank you

Hi Ekaksh Srivastava,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Bluetooth headsets typically use different audio modes depending on the task. When an app needs microphone access, Windows may switch the headset into a call‑focused mode, which prioritizes voice compatibility over sound quality. This can also cause the audio device to reconnect or switch outputs unexpectedly.Here's an option as workaround that you can consider in this situation to keep clear audio and voice at the same time:

• Open Control Panel > Devices and Printers
• Right‑click JBL Vibe Beam 2 > Properties > Services tab
• Uncheck Hands‑Free Telephony
• Click Apply, then reconnect the headphones
• Use your laptop’s microphone or a USB mic for calls
• Set the JBL earbuds as Output only in Sound settings

Additional tip:

• Ensure your Bluetooth adapter drivers are up to date from your PC manufacturer’s support site.
• Check for firmware update with JBL Headphones app from Microsoft Store.

I hope these steps help stabilize your connection and improve your experience. Let me know if you need further assistance, feel free to ask me by clicking "Add Comment" or "Add Answer" if you cannot add comment so your response will be visible. Thanks for your effort.
