I recently connected Samsung Galaxy Buds2 to my Windows 10 laptop via Bluetooth, but I find I'm having to jump into settings and change them on the fly if I swap between computer audio and the Buds2 because the RingCentral Windows App is not transitioning between them cleanly. The Buds2 stay on my desk in the case, disconnected, unless a call comes in or I'm making a call. More times than not when I activate the Buds 2, either I can't hear the other participant or they can't hear me until I change a setting.
My computer audio is default unless the Buds2 are on. The Buds2 have multiple options under microphone source and speaker source, and that's where my issue lies. Is there a best practice for forcing the right connection automatically and which connection under each is the correct one that will function accurately 100% of the time?
Any help is appreciated! This is a frustrating issue that I'm sure probably has a simple solution.
The attached photos show the options with the Buds2 on and off. Synaptics is the computer audio. Disregard the HP X24in sources. They refer to my monitors, but I do not use the headphone jacks built into them.

Thanks to a great experience with Jann in tech support this morning, I now have a fix for this. It's below for anyone else having the same issue.
-
Connect your headset/earbuds and verify they are visible in the Speaker/Microphone options in the RingCentral app.
-
Click the Windows search and search for Sound Settings. Click on it.
-
At the very bottom, click on App Volume and Device Preferences.
-
Under RingCentral, select the connected headset or earbuds as default for output and input. If it's listed more than once under either, you might have to play with settings to determine which one is correct. For the Buds2, I selected the Output option that starts with Headset and the Input option that starts with Headphones. The other selections with similar names did not work in my experience.
-
Exit RingCentral and reopen it.
Thank you, @Leah Wright.

I haven't yet. I was hoping someone else had experienced the same and could provide a quick solution. I've not had the time this week to engage with Tech Support.
