Bad sound-quality using Powerbeats3 Wireless Headset

[Axilios]

Hello everyone,

is there any possibility to use an other codec than "SCO"? I think SCO is the reason that the system-wide sound is awful while using Windows the sound is quite normal. The codec changes since I connect to a server.

Best regards,
Axilios

As far as I'm aware that's a deficit of the Bluetooth spec itself in that there's simply no other mode that both uses another codec and enables a capture channel for the microphone. Any other apps that use both the mic and playback, e.g. Apples Facetime, should suffer from the same syndrome.
