Can confirm: No microphone with FreeBuds 3 - Also, my sound preferences becomes very laggy when selecting BT audio input

@suhrmann I have the same exact behavior. I bought an external mini USB microphone for the time being. A very odd issue to be sure.
I'm thinking of getting a reddit thread going. This issue is relatively common. Perhaps tyler n has some insight.
Also, adding to this issue.
The microphone no longer works in Windows when booting through opencore boot picker. I will test just from windows UEFI now
No working mic in Windows might be caused by faulty ACPI
I've investigated a little and there seems to be some interaction between Apple ALC and dual-booting. Someone had mentioned that when they boot into windows, hit restart (NOT SHUTDOWN) and then boot into MacOS their mic works, but it breaks when going from MacOS after a shutdown to windows. That hasn't given me any success but it helps inform the way to solve this I guess
Maybe this issue is related to troubleshooting of IntelBluetoothFirmware via restart: https://openintelwireless.github.io/IntelBluetoothFirmware/Troubleshooting.html#identifying-issues
This kernel extension is only a firmware uploader and it is not needed when you directly reboot from other operating systems that natively support your Wi-Fi card's Bluetooth. [...]
- Restart your computer without cutting off the mother board's power supply [...]
- If your Bluetooth can discover devices, then it's an issue with your Kext injection.
- If Bluetooth does not work at all, then it's either a hardware issue (your motherboard leaves your card in a bad state) or a USB mapping issue.

@suhrmann Agh that's super annoying. I bought a USB mini microphone from amazon that I'm going to use in the meantime. I read through the thread and it seemed to be a possible issue with either AppleALC or Bluetooth - if we can collect some persuasive/solid evidence that it's Bluetooth there's a possibility they will try to remedy the issue. It's a huge hole in their software that's clearly being experienced by a lot of users.
Just took a half-assed stab at debugging. Here are my notes:
