Knightmare Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Anyone else having this issue? I was playing a game and my bluetooth headphones made a beep sound like they were going to die, so I turned them off and switched over to my speakers for sound, but when I turned on the speakers, the game music was not playing in the background. I did a sound test and I could hear the test, but I couldn't get the game audio to come back. I have been trying to update my bluetooth driver, but the latest drivers don't seem to be compatible with my setup for some reason. I uninstalled the latest bluetooth driver update and went back to whichever version that Windows gives me when I do a search for updates automatically online. Everything works fine until I change the output. I'm using a USB Bluetooth dongle, so I'm not sure if that is going bad. I have noticed that the light on the dongle stays on all the time, which I thought that it went off when I turned off my headset. I have disabled exclusive mode in all of my sound devices. This issue was happening in Musicbee whenever I would click out of Musicbee / open Streamlabs OBS, the sound from Musicbee would mute, even though the music was still playing and my OBS was detecting the sound. Hopefully I did an okay job of describing my issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbleck Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 You should stop any audio before changing the output device for safety (usually it changes with no problem even if u don't, but still...) Check to see if the audio output in the app / game settings u're running is "Primary Sound Driver". If this is the case the app / game should follow your Windows instructions. Put your USB dongle in a safe USB port... don't touch / move / hit it. See that your speakers are powered on. Before Windows was able to switch the output audio device while audio was on, i used (still do) WinAmp with QO Labs AudioBurst FX as the default output plugin... It's a test to see if it's Windows's issue or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll note that for next time The game doesn't have those kinds of settings, so I'm assuming that it uses the primary by default I think it's in a safe port. I'm not close enough to the computer to bump it and it was working fine when I first got it. The speakers weren't turned on but when I did turn them on, I couldn't hear the game but I could hear the sound test. 6 minutes ago, Reefa said: Thread moved from software chat..

Restart your game... the audio should switch then. Too bad MS can't find the right solution for this issue... i too am getting it every once in a while.

sefton22 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 i've had a similar issue that the default audio driver switches over to what it thinks is a MS headset, only its an Xbox controller. i've only recently started to use AudioSwitcher, it might be worth checking to see if it can solve your issue "Audio Switcher makes switching between sound devices trivial. No longer do you have to go into Control Panel or the Windows® Sound options, instead there is an easy to access icon, or even hotkeys." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restarting the game fixes it, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution so that it doesn't happen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I can't have something like this happening while I'm watching my porn. #sarcasm 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
