After updating Macos to Monterey, the mic drops after a random amount of time on Google Hangout and sometimes Slack, in the span of 20 minutes.&lt;p&gt;This is not an isolated case, users have been complaining about it.
For instance on Reddit:
https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.reddit.com&amp;#x2F;r&amp;#x2F;Jabra&amp;#x2F;comments&amp;#x2F;qjwxdu&amp;#x2F;muting_during_slackzoom_calls_on_mac_elite_85t&amp;#x2F;&lt;p&gt;On this post, official Jabra Support declares: &amp;quot;We do not support the use of the Jabra Elite 85t on computers&amp;quot;
I also reached out to their support per email, and after a few back and forth and reaching their Lead, the answer is the same.
They won&amp;#x27;t provide a refund nor solutions.&lt;p&gt;This limitation isn&amp;#x27;t advertised on the official Amazon offer nor on their official website.
Amazon: https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.amazon.com&amp;#x2F;Jabra-Wireless-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Titanium&amp;#x2F;dp&amp;#x2F;B08HR78C46&amp;#x2F;
Official website: https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.jabra.com&amp;#x2F;bluetooth-headsets&amp;#x2F;jabra-elite-85t&lt;p&gt;In the absence of advertised limitation, shouldn&amp;#x27;t the mic work (without dropping) with every device supporting the adequate BT profiles?
How is a user supposed to know they don&amp;#x27;t support computers?</text></story><parent_chain><item><author>mleonhard</author><text>When I receive a call, my Bose SoundSport headphones randomly ring at max volume, with audible clipping.

I&amp;#x27;m not sure if this fixes your problem, but on Android I like to enable developer options and disable absolute volume to decouple the phone and speaker&amp;#x2F;headphone volumes, so I can use the device itself to turn down the peak volume (and hopefully noise floor) no matter how loud of a sound the phone tries to output. This might help ringtones, but probably not sounds generated by the headphones. Unfortunately this doesn&amp;#x27;t seem to be exposed by Apple for iPhones.</text></comment>
