Voice chat application mutes sound of all other applications when using Bluetooth headsets on Windows 10

0

I'm having the same problem as this question: Can't hear other programs' sound when using Bluetooth headsets with voice chat applications on Windows 10

I have tried all the solutions referenced by that post.

Here's what I want: I would love to use AirPods (2019 version) to chat (through Discord) with friends while playing PC games. But getting in a Discord call mutes all other applications, and all the setting tweaks I've tried don't give me the desired solution (listening and talking into the AirPods at the same time during a call).

The above referenced post proposed Bluetooth 5.0 as a potential solution. Does anyone know if that solves it? Would the increased bandwidth prevent Windows from switching to the "hands-free profile"?

I presume you have a separate microphone for the setup you describe? I also assume you have configured your speakers to that of the Airpods and the Microphone within Discord? – Ramhound – 2020-01-23T17:40:26.153

No, the goal is to use the AirPods for both audio in and audio out. Why do you assume otherwise? – North Abbot – 2020-01-24T18:26:55.767
