Trouble with Headphones

I am using a SkullCandy Hesh 3 bluetooth heaphones. I am running windows 10. I connect to my pc using a bluetooth usb dongle. Not every time, but almost every time the game goes silent when I connect through other players regarding invasions or summons into my world or other worlds. The music I'm listenning to continues like normal, though. I can fix this by turing my headphones off and then on again, but this is really annoying. I have not played this game in a while, so I'm not sure, but I think I have played this game since buying these headphones and I was not having this problem before. Help appreciated. Thanks

I had the same problem. I was able to fix this by giving steam another device as microphone/headset...

might have to do with how your pc handle voice communication while in a media.
try setting the option to 'do nothing' in your audio - communication setting on windows

Neither of these options make sense to me. Will you please elaborate? Pretend I only use the computer to do homework and play video games.

Bump. Althouth I appreciate the above suggestions, there are references I am unfamiliar with, leaving them as not being options for me presently. "Give Steam another device" = ????? "Setting the option to do nothing" = ?????? This sucks hard. I worked hard all year and now that I have a some time during summer break, I'm dealing with this garbage. I see tons of people asking for help with bosses, etc. I may be one of the people to help if I could get this problem solved. Please take a minute to help me solve this. I'd do it for you.

Lol, bb. FUT btw.

As for your problem, simply switching off microphone in the sound device settings would do the trick if it is not too complicated for you.

Sorry for not checking back sooner. As for how exactly...

I am using August 650 Bluetooth headphone. I had the problem you descibed.

I have an on board sound system with input and output also. I click on the IN-GAME VOICE Tab in Steam Settings and then choose the audio input of that device/card as my device. There will be a button labeled "Change Device..."

Try it. And make sure that it stays the same during gameplay as well.

You may have to set this device as the recording device in your system as well. I just checked. It is so on my PC.

No need to aplogize. I guess when I was raging, I didn't consider that you and another person did offer some advice. I also appreciate that you came to help out again after I had a tantrum. So I am not seeing "In-Game Voice". I am seeing "In-Game" and "Voice", though.

This actually may be too complicated for me. LOL. Where do I go to "switch off microphone"? I am not seeing "sound device settings" anywhere. Is this in steam? windows? dark souls III?

Super bummer. I actually came back to play and forgot about this problem.

Here is what I did for my machine.

This realtech device is a on board device. I never use it. Nothing is connected to it.

Awesome. Thanks. So the realtex device is if I were using speakers, right?

Yeah, I guess. It came with my motherboard. It has inputs and outputs at the back of my pc I never use them since I use headphones all the time. Just like you I tried a lot of things. This is the one that worked for me. I hope it works for you as well.

Hmmmm. I use my speakers too much for this to be solution, but I'm glad to know this is an option. Thank you for sharing.
