honestly, i didn't have the option of handsfree. however, i am trying to connect my soundbar via BT to both, computer and TV, since i use TV as monitor and funny enough the HDMI eARC sounds worse than BT. TV was good, but switching to PC was painful for ears, then I started going through various settings, and disabling the "remote control" option for the sounbar basically worked perfectly. THANK YOU :D

You helped me to find how to disable the hands-free service! Thank you!

[@headphonesty]

You are most welcome!

anyone with the same issue: For me disabling the hands-free service wasn't enough. It would take about half a minute after connecting through bluetooth to actually product sound. What did work for me was UNINSTALLING the hands-free driver.
