Abstract
Apparatus having corresponding methods comprise a microphone configured to produce audio; a mute control configured to select a microphone open selection or a microphone muted selection; a processor configured to identify the audio produced during the microphone open selection as primary audio, and to identify the audio produced during the microphone muted selection as secondary audio; and a transceiver configured to transmit the primary audio over a first link and the secondary audio over a second link different than the first link.

An apparatus comprising:
- a microphone configured to produce audio;
- a mute control configured to select a microphone open selection or a microphone muted selection;
- a processor configured to identify the audio produced during the microphone open selection as primary audio, and to identify the audio produced during the microphone muted selection as secondary audio;
- and
- a transceiver configured to transmit the primary audio over a Bluetooth Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link, and to transmit the secondary audio over a Bluetooth Asynchronous Connection-Less (ACL) link.

A method comprising:
- producing audio responsive to sound;
- determining a selection of a mute control configured to select a microphone open selection or a microphone muted selection;
- identifying the audio produced during the microphone open selection as primary audio;
- identifying the audio produced during the microphone muted selection as secondary audio;

3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive audio produced by a headset, wherein the headset has a mute control configured to select a microphone open selection or a microphone muted selection, and wherein the audio includes primary audio and secondary audio, wherein the primary audio is generated by a microphone of the headset during a microphone open selection, and wherein the secondary audio is generated by the microphone of the headset during the microphone muted selection;
- and
- a switch configured to pass the primary audio to a communications channel, and to pass the secondary audio to an analytics engine;
- wherein the receiver is further configured to receive the primary audio over a Bluetooth Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link, and to receive the secondary audio over a Bluetooth Asynchronous Connection-Less (ACL) link.
