Hi!

I'm having trouble using my new wh-1000xm5 headphones in Teams on laptop and it is no problem with the initial connection process to windows using bluetooth. It can find two outputs to the headphones, handsfree and stereo. I use the stereo as primary but have tried with both. However, in teams calls using the windows application I can't use the microphone on the headphones, people can't hear me and then my sound disappear. The sound works fine and with good quality while using laptop microphone but when switching to headphone mic the sound disappear again.

Any idea what the problem is?

    Hi. I did it, but i doesn't work. I think it's an Windows issue, as it's not detecting the microphone. When i click in "connect" nothing happens.

    Yes, but you need to disable that. If you go to the previous page of this thread, you will see that someone gives a link to the solution over there. In fact you need to disable the hands-free option:

    Here's how to fix it. Priviously with the 3's, you could go in your drivers or in your device and disable the Hands-Free option. Now ith the 4's and Windows 11, you basicly only have to go to : Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Devices and Printers.

    There you'll find you headphones. Right click, properties -> bluetooth and disable the hands-free option. This is how to do it in windows 10: Only difference is I'm on Windows 10, and instead of Properties --> Bluetooth --> Disable hands free, it was Properties --> Services --> Untick the "Hands-free Telephony" box --> Apply

    I hope this helps.

    regards,

    Ok, i did it. So, it does not appear anymore in recording section. Image

    But, Windows and Microsoft Teams are still not detecting the Sony's WH-1000XM5 microphone.
    See the "input" section (i'm using Windows 10):

    The same in the MS Teams' "input" section (it only appears the laptop microphone, but not the headset one):

    Correct. That’s the only workaround that worked for me. Very annoying, I know… but it’s the same issue with a Bose headphones and I suppose with other headphones as well.

    OMG! I didn't know that. Actually, i bought this Sony headset only for MS Teams meetings.

    I'll try to check in Sony's forums to see if they have anything re The mic not beeing detected by laptops.

    Thanks a lot!

    And if anyone here knows how to fix it, please let us know.
