Hey guys, I'm having trouble with this new bluetooth headset I bought, and I believe I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. I've tried a bunch of stuff and googled all day, but I haven't come across anything yet so I was hoping someone here knew how I could fix this ridiculous issue.
On my MSI Z87I mITX motherboard I have an Intel Centrino Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 4.0 mini pcie adapter, and it works great, and allows me to pair any device I want, but I seem to have hit a little snag.
I'm trying to get an Air-Fi Venture AF52 to work as both a microphone AND a headset for gaming, but it seems that Winblows 7 won't allow me to use the built-in microphone and the headset features simultaneously. No matter what I do, it just won't allow it.
As you can see in the picture above, there is the "Bluetooth Headphones" option, and the "Bluetooth Headset" option. For whatever reason, I have no idea what for, these two options can never be enabled at the same time. It's pretty ridiculous that I can't use the microphone separately.
I need to do this because of the fact that when you have the "Bluetooth Headset" feature selected, the audio quality that is ported to the headset automatically is awful. It isn't made to play sound/music/etc.. it's essentially call quality, which is garbage. However, whenever I select the "Bluetooth Headphones" option, the microphone does not work. It says that the device is there, but that it's "disconnected".
So anyways, does anyone know of a workaround for this? Is there any audio controller software out there that I can use instead of this shitty windows 7 sound thing?
