I shall remain a luddite with regards to wireless peripherals.

Nope. Bluetooth is bad for keyboard and mouse. 2.4GHz is good. Get a good peripheral, that implements normal wireless connection, and there’s no noticeable difference to wire.

Lolwut. A tad little sensitive, hey. The last line of the first post, was a joke. You chose to take it as an attack.

now you’re projecting. every post of mine has some appropriate form of a smiley face, showing i’m not being 100% serious, and conveying a sense of playfulness.
I also don’t really understand the pikachu shock face of posting in a tech support thread, basically a conversation with yourself where you joke at other users expense, and getting pushback.
btw, the fix is “plug it in”. i can 100% money back guarantee the issue you reported will be resolved by that.
If you want to debate the pros and cons of wireless vs wired (wireless has positive things, wired has negative), feel free. That isn’t what you did though, you just came across as a fanboy of a certain thing and “everyone else is stupid but me”.
But I can’t stop you from interpreting text in whatever way you wish, so i’ll be done now and end with a quote. "Cool man, you do you. "

There’s a fair amount interpreting done on this forum, with enough people getting a decent sense of the tone of a post, because they get used to how regulars communicate, without having to be perfectly lawyerly in their response.
So, cool man, you do you. Hahaha

Hi, it’s me again…
I am not sure if this may be clear enough but here goes: I listen to a lot of music while working, but when I join a Teams meeting, it seems to adjust my audio output sound quality. The voices seem clear but the audio stream sounds very flat and “tinny” until I leave the meeting then it adjusts again.
Do you think this is a setting somewhere or a result of Teams manipulating the audio output?

I wonder if it’s using a different bitrate for some reason. I don’t know about Mac or Windows, but I try and keep everything at 48,000kHz.
But ya, shockedpikachu.jpg if Microsoft is screwing with system wide settings for their software

Strangely enough, I noticed no disparity when using built-in speakers to play audio while joining a Teams call, but with a headset, the audio is affected. Still not sure if this is exclusive to Teams.

I found this buried in the options, enabled it and will wait for another Teams call:

Anyone have any advice on purchasing earbuds with a mic to connect to my PC? My PC does not have bluetooth, so I will also have to buy a USB dongle.

Specifically earbuds? Being wired may be hard to find.
I have a pair of Corsair HS70 that can be used wired or Bluetooth with many devices. But they are over ear.
I also have a Bluetooth wireless pair of JBL Tune 125 which seem to work great across devices, if you get a Bluetooth dongle.

This is exactly the info I need. I want to get bluetooth buds because the noise cancelling ones are usually a little cheaper than the over ear ones. So I just need to get a dongle to use them with? Does it have to be a specific type of bluetooth spec? 4/4.2/5/5.2 ?

I do not believe so, as far as I know, they’re all compatible with each other spec/version.
If you’re in no rush, keep an eye out on OneDayOnly, they regularly have deals on good quality branded earbuds.

I can second that, I have just bought a pair of Phillips, they are decent and so comfy - I found to just check that its the ones with the rubber tips that you can change to fit your ear works best

I need some help. I bought the Jabra 4 earbuds, bought a bluetooth 5 dongle and connected it all. The PC sees the buds so I can switch the output to them and they play amazing sound.
but
I can’t get the microphones to work. I set the PC MIC to the, now available, new microphone setting but nothing works. Cannot get anything through the microphone.
Here is an image of the setup in windows
The internet is not much help, I cannot update the drivers since it is a generic USB bluetooth device driver that windows loads for it.
Any ideas?

Sometimes bluetooth connection presents multiple output options, only one of which allows you to choose the actual working handsfree input. Does yours have multiple bluetooth options? Or just one?
