Okay, so I have this bluetooth headset (it's a Skullcandy Hesh 2 Wireless). I want to use it with my PC which is running Windows 8.1. I can pair it just fine. After pairing it adds three devices under the "Sound" setting window: Hesh 2 Wireless Stereo (corresponding to the Audio Sink service) and Hesh 2 Wireless Hands-Free (one for audio out, the other for audio in). This is where I run into my problem.
The stereo output is awesome for listening to songs, in game sounds and music, watching movies, etc. What I want is the capability to do all of those things while using the built in mic to talk to my friends over Skype or Steam. I cannot find a way to do that. Whenever the mic is active any sound output to the Stereo part just stops. From what I can tell, Windows suspends the stereo part and lets the hands-free part do its thing until I stop talking.
What I'm wondering is: Is this even possible? The headset has a 3.5mm wire as well for those times when the battery is low. Using that wire everything works flawlessly.
