Hello @ManMen, sorry to hear that you are facing sound issues when using your Bluetooth headphones. 


In general, if you would like to use your Bluetooth microphone with Shadow and also have sound at the same time, you'll need to set your Bluetooth headset to the 'Hands-Free' one in your sound settings to use the microphone feature on your local PC. This also happens on your local PC, as using the 'Stereo' option only allows for sound, if you were to test it out. This happens due to how Bluetooth headsets behave with Windows.

You may notice that this is why in the mic option, only the 'Hands-Free' option is only available as a selection on the Quick Menu in the image below with my AirPods.

If you only want sound on your PC, then using the 'Stereo' mode is fine. You might need to close your stream and reopen it again to make sure that it works.
