Forced usage of Hands Free Audio with Bluetooth Headphones

When I load into the game, the game automatically attempts to connect to my microphone. For some reason, it uses the built in microphone on my bluetooth headset which forces my headset to enter “Hands Free Audio” and take a nosedive in audio quality. This is despite the fact that I have disabled Hands Free Audio in my computer in every location I could find reference to it. The solution to this would be to either allow me to disable the games usage of my microphone or the ability to manually select which microphone I want it to use.

Either way, until this is fixed the game is unplayable. Because I’ve disabled Hands Free Audio on my computer, it defaults to max volume whenever it is somehow called and cannot be changed as it does not properly show up anywhere on my computer to be edited.

Just guessing, but could it be a steam setting?
Does it work differently on other steam games?
