Hi there, I just acquired myself the Sennheiser Momentum 4, mainly for using while communting + work. But figured i’d try them out for some gaming too. They work just fine when watching YT or any video, but when I launch a game the audio quality changes significantly. I have no idea how or why its doing it, nor how to fix it. I’ve tried all of these different audio profile options, but all of them make the audio either distorted, weak, or make it sound like the audio is trapped inside a room… Anyone know how to go about this? Audio works fine with my normal non-wireless headset.

My system is running Bazzite.

Appreciate any pointers to how to resolve this.

    Probably something accessing your microphone and making the headset switch to HSP/HFP. Correcting the microphone input usually allows me to switch back to A2DP, but not always unfortunately. I’ve had it happen a few times at random too (some games, a chat program). I still don’t know what causes my issues exactly, but after a few updates and editing my Pipewire config it doesn’t seem to happen as much anymore.

    I dug in deep and I think completely removing the HSP and HFP roles from the Wireplumber config file solved the issue. I don’t know what to do if you’re on Pulseaudio, and there’s no GUI setting to do this, but it may help you on your quest to figure this stuff out.
