Constant buzzing noise while using my bluetooth headphones?

[Bb0yz]

Im using bose 700 bluetooth headphones and even when i turn down all the audio sliders to 0 in game I hear this buzzing noise and can hear myself. It does this normally when im on the phone with someone but this is the first time for any game Ive had this issue. Anyone know a fix for this?

This is because of a stupid audio plugin that Darktide also used, it's using the noise cancelling microphones for voice chat, for some reason, and giving you no control at all over what mic it uses.

The only way to get it to stop is to navigate in Windows to Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone, scroll down to "Let Desktop apps access your microphone" and toggle that off. It will completely cut your mic, but that's your only choice.

I'm lucky enough to have one of the older Bose gaming sets that has a mic I can plug in, when I plug that in to the headset it also cuts the game off from using the noise cancelling mics.

The echo comes from there being two mics, one on each side of your headset, tied together.

In Darktide though you could toggle the Desktop Access OFF before start-up, start the game, then toggle it back on and it wouldn't pick the noise cancelling mics back up, unfortunately Helldivers 2 does.

When I try to do this fix, it completely shuts off all audio coming into my headsets
