Troubleshooting
Why is the DG60 not working/being recognized by my Computer?
- The DG60 should be recognized as a USB sound card/USB speaker when it’s plugged into a PC USB port. NO BLUETOOTH icon will appear on the Taskbar.
- The pairing/connection between the DG60 and your headphones/speaker has nothing to do with your PC.
- After it’s plugged in, you can find the “Avantree DG60” in Device manager and in the Playback settings.
- If you see an “unknown device” indicated in Device manager, please try using another computer to test.
Why didn’t I get the expected operation range?
- Any obstacle can hinder the range; please utilize the USB extension cable to make sure that the DG60 is in line of sight with your paired device.
- Don’t plug in the USB3.0 port.
- HD codec generally has a shorter distance. You may try using other codecs (aptX-LL, aptX, SBC) to get a longer range.
- Bluetooth connection can be negatively affected by other wireless devices such as WiFi routers or TV sticks.Please try to keep them away.
- If the connection is unstable, please try resetting the devices and pair again.
DG60 Reset: Press &Hold the MFB button for 7 seconds until the LED shows SOLID WHITE.
Why am I getting such poor sound quality in TALK mode?
Reason: In TALK mode, the sound is a MONO, 16kHz bit rate signal (most
Bluetooth devices in the market use a lower 8kHz bit rate signal). When in
MUSIC mode, the sound switches to STEREO / 48kHzbit rate signal.
Solution: Only the FastStream (FS) codec supports both music and high-
quality voice simultaneously. The DG60 supports FS and the simultaneous
quality voice and music feature if used with an FS compatible headphone (e.g.
the Avantree Aria, AH6B, Audition or NB16).
Why is my microphone not working?
Reason: The DG60 hasn’t been set to TALK mode
Solution: After you’ve paired your device to DG60, DOUBLE CLICK the MFB
to switch the DG60 to TALK MODE. During TALK mode the LED will flash BLUE
quickly.
For Windows users, please check that the speaker and microphone audio settings
are set to “default” Avantree DG60 in your VOIP program and in Windows’
playback devices.
