:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Sounds degrades through bluetooth while game is active (even on game minimise). Best to explain it as everything sounds like bluetooth switches to hands-free voice quality instead of high quality connection (in bluetooth panel nothing is indicated tho). It does the same for all bluetooth devices. There are even the cases when it periodically mutes the game and system sounds, and until the game is killed, that persists.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. open the game
  2. low quality sounds awaits you now system wide!

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

System sounds (lets say youtube videos) shouldn’t be affected by game playing.
