Bluetooth headset audio sounds muffled when mic is on

What should you check?

1. 01

   Compare the microphone setting

   Temporarily use the computer’s built-in microphone and check whether headphone output quality improves.

2. 02

   Consider Bluetooth audio profiles

   Some headsets switch to a voice-call profile when the microphone is active. Disabling the headset microphone also removes that input.

When should you seek professional repair?

If the symptom persists or you suspect physical damage, get a model-specific diagnosis and a written cost estimate. Avoid changing important settings or erasing data without a backup.
