Low quality Apple Music app audio when doing conference calls
I noticed a mono-like sound switch of current Music app song when starting a video call with Skype or Zoom. Can anyone here help me please?
Solution 1:
Are you using a Bluetooth headset? If so, try the following:
Go to System Preferences → Sound → Input
and select a device other than your bluetooth device, for example "MacBook Air Microphone."
Note that if you disconnect your bluetooth device, you might have to do this step over again. Inconvenient, I know.
This is because bluetooth does not have enough bandwidth for 3 audio channels at the same time, so it is either: (1) two speaker channels (stereo) or (2) one speaker channel (mono) and one microphone channel.
