| <h2>🤔 What is the problem?</h2> | |
| <p> | |
| Your Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones connect to your computer, but the audio sounds | |
| <strong>tinny, quiet, or low quality</strong> — like listening through an old phone. | |
| This happens because Windows treats the headphones as a <em>headset</em> (for calls), | |
| while you just want to listen to music in <strong>stereo (high quality)</strong>. | |
| This guide will fix that. | |

| <strong>The sound is bad again after a while</strong> | |
| This happens when an app (like Discord or Teams) uses the microphone on your headphones. | |
| Windows then automatically switches back to "headset mode". Solution: open that app and set | |
| the microphone to your computer's microphone instead of the headphones. Then run the script | |
| again. | |
