With the Windows 11 24H2 update, users can now enjoy full stereo Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio even when using the microphone. The new update introduces what Microsoft calls "super wideband stereo." It delivers high-quality 32 kHz stereo audio alongside microphone input using the LC3 codec. This improvement is made possible through LE Audio, the next-generation Bluetooth standard that handles both mic and stereo audio in one efficient stream. For gamers, this means better in-game sound with directional effects that stay intact during voice chat. Apps like Microsoft Teams now support stereo Bluetooth audio, allowing features like Spatial Audio to work. Future updates are expected to push audio quality even higher, with support for full CD-quality sound during calls and games. Microsoft, in partnership with the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, will hold a workshop, namely, Xbox Academy.
