Problem...I loose BT sound in 3D game play

[krag]

My rig is in my sig. Mobo is Asus Strix x570E, my headphones are Sony MDR XB950BT, my devices in "Device Manager" are all good no red checks or yellow !

My headphones work great for YouTube vids and music. When I start up a game the initial sound is good like normal. You know thru the inro and settings page..but as soon as my rig starts to render 3D and go in game the sound cuts out. Everything was fine with the last set of Nvidia drivers but not with this one.

Anybody else experience similar problems with their Blue Tooth headphones?

Any advice is and help is welcome. Thank you, krag

I had a similar problem that I couldn't find a fix for. I had a speaker system connected to a S/PDIF port and I was trying to listen to audio through the headphone port in the back of the computer because it was late at night and I didn't want to disturb my family. Switching to the headphone port worked fine for most things, but there was a game I played and it refused to play out of the headphones, it would start out there, but when the actual game started it would play the sound out of the S/PDIF port. The only reason i realized this was what was happening was because I accidentally left the speakers on one night after switching to the headphones.
After giving this a little thought here is what might be happening, you switched to the Bluetooth Headphones, but when you originally installed the game you were using a different audio port. The game saved the game settings in a file and when you start the game, the audio starts out how you set it and then it loads the settings file and sets the audio the way it originally was when you installed the game. This means to fix the problem you could manually change the setting file to point to the right audio device or you could reinstall the game while using the Bluetooth Headphones.
Or you could delete the settings file and have it create a new one.

Nope...never ran into this...

But I would use DDU to uninstall all Nvidia driver bits. When installing this time around, only install the driver and PhysX. Don't install HD Audio, GFE, ISB-C (unless you need those things) this time around and see if that helps.

You can also get an idea of what is going on by looking at your audio section and see what has changed/default and what is active.

That's what I'd try first, and check the Windows volume mixer as well, see if any audio is even playing.

Also is this all games or just a specific game? If it's one specific game or maybe a few games using the same engine, I'm wondering if there's an internal audio setting that isn't playing nice, and it's only activated when the game goes "live" (EAX, 5.1/7.1, etc.).
