I have a set of Sennheiser bluetooth headphones that I use in Windows and getting them to work as I would like has been beyond me so far.
They are a set of Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC headphones. The problem I have is that Windows recognises them as two devices a set of "Headphones" and a "Headset". So in the Sound Manager I have under playback both "Headphones" and "Headset". Under recording there is a record for "Headset"
I also have a desktop mic plugged into my PC as I couldn't get this to work properly. I currently have the "headset" entries disabled under both. The problem is the headset entries keep on becoming re-enabled.
The issue I have when windows tries to use the headphones as a headset is it immediately stops playback of anything on the computer and instead amplifies the sound from around me. So even typing on my PC suddenly sounds like thunder. The reason I bought a desktop mic is because I couldn't manage to get the mic on these headphones to pickup as a mic without cutting out audio playback in games or anything else. For example in teamspeak, I could hear audio from teamspeak but not from the game I was playing. I seemed to have to choose between audio from the game OR audio from teamspeak.
Any input on how I get this to work as I would like or even to permanently disabled the "headset" function in Windows would be appreciated.
