Windows 10: Headset audio quality drops drastically when headset mic is on?

I'm using a wireless Hesh ANC Skull Candy Headset, I've noticed that sometimes the audio will drop when I initially open Discord, but it comes back to normal after around 10 seconds. I'm trying to play Sea of Thieves and now the audio issue prevails like it goes beyond SoT and I do not know how to fix this. I assume it is because the headset has some mic that is auto connecting to SoT which then tanks the quality because when I close the client the audio goes back to normal. So, I have disabled every mic that is not my main wired mic through the device manager, I have gone through all sett

Headset audio quality vs headphone audio quality

So I have a pair of headphones that have a mic built into them and in the sound control panel I can set them as either "Headphones" or as a "Headset". The difference is, I can't use the built-in mic when I have it set as headphones. But the audio quality
is drastically worse when it's set as a headset (not even sure how the difference can be this apparent), is there any way to fix this?

 

Headset mic

PC Specs will help us help you.

What is the brand/model of the headset mic combo?

What front panel audio jack(s) do you have? Some are only mic or only headset, some can be either mic or headset whichever is plugged in and some are combination headset/mic.

 

Laptop not splitting headset mic & audio?

Hi
Simple version. When i plug in my headset to my laptop windows10 is not splitting it into one output and one input.

I fixed this years back by setting the popup box 'whats plugged in' from headphone to headset. Then it split the audio and mic. However i had to reinstall windows and now when i select headset it just mutes my laptop mic and audio manager just shows the one mic, but two audio outputs.

It was working before the reset and i have tested the headset on another computer and it is working find.
So far i tried device manage audio driver install, for both Realtek driver and High Definition driver but either resolve the issue.

Any suggestions why windows would pick up one and not the other?

I currently have it set to headphone plugged in so that i can use my laptop mic, but ive been told i sound really bad *Sad

Cheers,
