Using Phone Link to make calls with PC headphones & Mic

I am struggling to get Phone Link on windows 11 to utilise the headset I use for my PC as the speaker and Mic for calls made/received in Phone Link.

All my drivers are up to date, I am using Astro A50s which work for all other aspects of mic/sound (these are wired to base, 2.4ghz wireless, so not bluetooth headset) and a Samsung Galaxy S21.

Sometimes when I receive a call, the phone notes that it is using the PC for bluetooth output, and I can hear the the audio, but the mic doesnt seem to work.

Would love for this to be resolved so I dont need to change headsets everytime I want to go from Zoom call to phone call.

Thanks,

Daniel

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for your update. Unfortunately, I've tried this solution previously, and it doesn't work for me. I have a webcam microphone that is detected by Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, etc, but not by PhoneLink!

    I've given up hope of this ever being addressed in a maintenance release and don't use the Calls option at all.

    Try to untick "enable audio enhancements" in the microphone's settings.

    That's not going to work. The problem is the PhoneLink doesn't provide the ability to select a specific microphone. It only uses the default Windows audio device. In my case, I have at least three microphones. PhoneLink needs to provide a means of selecting one of the several microphones and speakers I have available.

    I'm setting up Phone Link with my Samsung S23 for the first time and immediately ran into this problem. I want to use my headphones and mic to make calls like I do with all other communications apps - my PC speakers are for playing media. There should be a way of selecting from a list of available input and output devices. The call functionality is unusable for me otherwise.

    yep im having the same problem. My wired headset plugged into the computer works and I can hear calls, but neither my phone microphone or computer microphone connects and the other person cannot hear me.
