Why does my wireless headset mute itself when I open a dictionary app?
Our answer
Check system communications-ducking and app-exclusive audio; turn off any headset wear-detection mute feature.
Why this approach makes sense
Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.
Before you try it
Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
