How to connect Jabra Evolve 2 using Bluetooth dongle
In my specific case, I didn’t notice the Bluetooth dongle that came with my Jabra headset. So it was causing lot of connection issues and microphone issues. I tried to find some answers through their support and came to know about the dongle. So plugging in the dongle to your laptop or PC will make a seamless connection and fix most of the audio issues with Jabra Evolve headsets.
Here are some tips to fix issues with the Jabra Evolve 65 2nd generation:
- Change Bluetooth Device: Windows creates two Bluetooth devices for the Evolve2 65. It defaults to the “Headphones” device. Change this to “Headset”, disable the “Headphones” device, and you should be able to mute the mic when on calls.
- Jabra Direct App: Download the Jabra Direct app. This app detects the headset when you’re using the Jabra USB dongle1.
- Firmware Update: You can manually update the firmware of your Jabra device. Navigate to the product support page for your Jabra device on the Jabra Support website, download the latest firmware version for your device, and save the file on your computer.
- Adjust Bluetooth Audio Codec: Try adjusting the Bluetooth audio codec in the Bluetooth Settings menu on your device to reduce audio muffled or sound works only in one headset issue.
- Check Audio Settings in Microsoft Teams: Make sure that the correct audio input and output devices are selected in the Teams settings4.

Remember, these are just some general tips and might not solve all issues. If problems persist, it’s best to contact Jabra’s customer support or a professional technician.
