Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Elite 8 Active Gen 2 with a Bluetooth source. The call already works, but hearing your own voice feels blocked or unnatural. This is not a missing microphone diagnosis. Reversible checks only; no factory reset or pairing-list deletion.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Sound changes during calls.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
