Wireless headset registers output as both input and output

Post by Doctor_Dio »

The headset is a VModa Crossfade 2. When I connect it to the computer, it registers the device, lets me hear through it, but I can't use the in-built headset. It seems to register the output as the input.

When I check the Volume control, the visual monitors for the output and input for the VModa Crossfade 2 register the same volume.

When I check the voice settings on discord, the mic test regurgitates whatever I happen to be listening to as mic input.

Strangely enough, when I look at the name of the input device on discord, it reads, Default: bluez_sink.20_9B_A5_ED_FD_A9.a2dp_

How do I separate the input from the output on this device so I can use both the headphones and the microphone?

I checked the forum, and although I found a few similar issues, I didn't find anything that was a 1:1 problem with this.

Here's the information on my machine, if it's any help. If you need to know anything else I'd be happy to look it up.
