In-ear buds and gaming

Hi.

I've just been trying to use voice chat in games with a pair of in-ear buds and their mic, with definitely no luck.

Whenever I switch on the voice chat, every game's internal sound will stop working.

I think that's something output mode related. With Skype I can both listen and use the mic changing the audio output to a LOW quality one (HANDS FREE AG audio). I think that is the point of this.

Is this normal? I mean, is there by any chance any possibility of listening normal audio quality and using the mic at the same time? Or maybe some bluetooth limitation over there?

Just wondering because of the common use of buds without issues in smartphones xD

 

i think you need to check settings andmake sure your not doing a passthrough

 

Are you wired or wireless connection? I think this sounds more like a settings in your Audio setup. Have you looked there yet as to what the settings are. I know if you turned off mic on the settings it will not give you this option when you play games so go back and check your Audio settings as that what sounds like it happening here. But also check your game settings for Audio to see the settings.

 

Hi Tiner. What OS are you using? I have been using a software called VoiceMeeter, it is a virtual audio mixer for Windows this solves my issue. You can give it a try. For voice chat while playing have you tried the software called Discord? Its a good alternative to Skype. The software has a screen cast feature as well where you can stream your screen and your friends on Discord can watch your screen while you play.

 

Maybe this info might help. We are on the same boat as I was looking for a way too but it seems its a bluetooth limitation with windows.

Hope this explains it and hope this helps.
