Bluetooth buds on PC Xbox app don't work...

Black Shark Lucifer T1 buds sound fine when playing solo, but as soon as I join a party on the xbox app all the game audio quality tanks and sounds like I'm hearing someone else's tv through their mic.

I've tried numerous "fixes" after Google searching the issuse but none work.

He's getting audio from party chat and wonders why someone tv is in the background (noise cancelation either on his side or the other patty members and yes ypi do get background noise that's NORMAL in a party

I can heaR soneomes kid asking his father something it is norma

You just ask if someone's tv is on and tell them to turn off the side tv noise cancelation can only do so much

The audio quality in the context of buds vs headphones isn't the issue here. The issue is that the Xbox app appears to re-route the game audio when I join a party, and I was wondering of anyone might have encountered the same issue and have had any success in sorting it. Perhaps if you weren't so eager to score snark points instead of actually helping you'd have noticed this from the original post.

I'll turn off notifications for this. You've already wasted enough of my day.

Younhave to address it with the manufacturer

Hate to break it to you but earbuds aren't really meant for gaming

Ok, perhaps I didn't explain clearly. The game audio from my game, which sounds fine before I join chat, is rerouted somehow when I party up, and the quality of the game audio drops to sound *as bad as* someone else's TV coming through their mic into the chat - but it's still the audio from my game.

When I use my Xbox headset through the Xbox wireless adapter dongle everything is fine.

So the buds, which are essentially the same as my Xbox headset - some speakers and a mic - are unable to treat the game audio and the chat audio as separate and play them simultaneously without weirdly mashing them together into a horrible mess. There shouldn't be any "interference" in the game audio at all, the buds have to do is play it straight form the source, and they do - until I join a party. The game audio returns to normal if I leave the party. This would suggest that I don't have the Xbox chat app, bluetooth settings, mic settings, playback settings or all of them incorrectly configured, which is what I was initially hoping for some pointers on.

Hate to break it to you but they're specifically marketed as gaming buds, with an in-built "gaming mode."
