How Do I Fix Bluetooth Audio on Discord?
If you’ve used a Bluetooth headset for Gaming while Discord chatting on Windows PC, or if you've bought a Bluetooth USB adapter for PlayStation Party chat, you've probably experienced two annoying issues.
1. You must manually switch the connection to "Headset" or "Handsfree" in order for the microphone to work.
2. The audio quality drops significantly as soon as you switch to headset (voice chat) mode.
You may jump to 1:35 of the video below to hear a demo of the "audio quality drop" issue. Please put your headphones on to experience it better.
It's UNACCEPTABLE... but unfortunately, it's a technology limit at the moment.
Well, Avantree has found a way around it!
Through our years of experience in the Bluetooth field, we managed to find a type of Bluetooth connection that will NOT cause the audio quality to drop... the only catch is that we've only got it to work on our own products.
So when you use an Avantree Bluetooth Headphone with an Avantree Bluetooth USB Adapter, the audio quality will remain at 16 Bit Stereo EVEN when you're Gaming and "Discord-ing" at the same time... or Partychatting on your PS5... with NO NOTICEABLE AUDIO DELAY.
To make things even EASIER, Avantree came out with Bluetooth Headphones & Adapter sets that are already paired so there's no need for you to go through the annoying Bluetooth pairing procedure; all you gotta do is Plug the adapter in, power on the headphones, and make sure that the headphones (adapter) has been set as default audio Output/Input device... aaaaaaand you'd be good to go!
Set Default Input/Output Device:
Headphone + Adapter Bluetooth Gaming Sets with Stereo Quality Voice-Chats:
These will work brilliantly with Windows (7, 8, 10), Mac, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch and basically any device that outputs audio through its USB port or Type-C port.
