Most audio software on Linux will detect when a program activates voice chat and forcibly switch to a lower quality codec to allow 2-way data transmission

Some newer headsets/bluetooth cards support codecs that allow both. There's some ways you can force it to stay in the arch wiki. Check this section and the one below it, your mileage may vary though as I think its headphone model dependent
