- On the microphone settings, select calling connections [Headset (LinkBuds Fit Hands-Free)]**. When the microphone is not set up, the Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the headset detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, and the sound from the headset is muted.
- Depending on the video calling application you are using, calling connections [Headset (LinkBuds Fit Hands-Free)]** or music playback connections [Headphones (LinkBuds Fit Stereo)]** may not be selectable on the speaker or microphone settings, and only [LinkBuds Fit] may be displayed.

Hint
- When the settings of the video calling application cannot be checked or calling connections [Headset (LinkBuds Fit Hands-Free)] cannot be selected, select [Headset (LinkBuds Fit Hands-Free)] on the settings of your computer to make connections. See “Connecting to a paired computer (Windows 11)”, “Connecting to a paired computer (Windows 10)” or “Connecting to a paired computer (Mac)”.
Note
- While Speak-to-Chat is enabled, if the microphone is not set up correctly, the Speak-to-Chat mode is activated when a voice is detected, and the sound from the headset may be muted.
- Depending on the video calling application you are using, it may not be possible to configure the microphone settings. If this is the case, use the “Sony | Sound Connect” app to disable Speak-to-Chat.
- Depending on the computer or application you are using, the headset may not work properly during a video call. This may be improved by restarting the computer.
