Not as easy as PnP for MS Teams

Windows 10: While our W10 laptop itself didn't need a driver update or general setup, when using it with Teams we had to navigate to the meeting settings (select profile picture in file) . Top right corner "Settings", "Devices" and "Speakers" select Avantree DG60 Analog Stereo) and select it, otherwise Teams will continue to use the previously used device. The sound quality is good. The increase in range is the reason for our purchase. Compared to the laptop's built-in Bluetooth, the DG60 gives us about 20 feet more reliable range, not as much as we expected but enough for our use case (being able to run to the kitchen or bathroom during tedious non-attendance) . Phone call). We've only used it for two days and we're still working on it, sometimes we don't automatically connect our headset when the laptop wakes up from sleep. Ubuntu Linux 20.04.2 (Kernel 5.4.104): I can stream audio to my Sony WH-1003MX headset or use the microphone, but I can't use both at the same time, so it's not an option for fraudulent calls. Update March 26, 2021: We have decided to bring it back. While the range increase was reasonable, it was semi-accidentally disconnected from our Jabra headset, making Teams unacceptable.
