Static audio fix for Bluetooth headphone/bud users

By Monsieur Shroom

This is a guide for players who are on Windows 10 (could work for other versions of windows I wouldn't know), use a Bluetooth audio device, and are unable to hear any sound, with the exception of static(as was in my case), when playing the game.

I understand audio bugs in this game are not uncommon, thus this solution may not work for everyone. Thanks to @shivam13juna who was the only person who I've seen give out this solution, and was the only one that worked for me. Thought I would make a guide since nobody else has as far as I'm aware.

The Fix

When using a Bluetooth device, in my case I am using Apple's "Air Pods Pro", there will be two audio devices added to your system. However how do you go to see these devices?

First you are going to want to go to your win10 control panel, go to "Hardware and Sound", go to "sound", and then click the "playback" tab. There your audio devices will be displayed.

The first of these two audio devices, as shown in image 1, should simply read out the name of your audio device. This should be the device you are always using when you have your Bluetooth connected.

The second, as shown in image 2, should read out the same name as the prior device, but have "Hands-Free AG Audio" put at the end. DISABLE this device! Not only should it not even work in the first place, but more importantly should solve your static audio problem. You may also want to disable a device with the same name under the "recording" tab, however I am unsure if that matters.

After that you should be good to play, just make sure your actual audio device is connected before launching the game of course.

This did not work until I also disabled the AG Audio in the recording tab of that menu. Thanks for adding that detail, turned out to be the fix for my case.

Curious, I had a different problem, the sound was mono. Disabling the mic access in "Win+I > Privacy & Security > Microphone" solves it.

The multiplayer mode is to blame, bizzarely, the devs never added proper mic toggle to the game's settings.

Just my couple of cents.

Thanks for the guide! Solved my problem, but I had to disable it in the recording tab as well. Didn't work just disabling it in the main tab. Appreciate it!
