How to Fix Distant Bluetooth Audio

After recently getting the Poly Voyager Focus 2 headet to help block the noise of my air conditioning out while on calls all day long, I found they had a very distant Bluetooth audio. This seemed to only happen in calls and was extremely frustrating.

After a bit of investigation, it turned out that Windows 10 had enhancements enabled within the sound device and turning these off corrected the sound.
