Sound won't switch to bluetooth headphones

Sometimes whilst playign the game, I'll want to listen to music and I quite like music. So I'll turn on my bluetooth headphones and Windows will switch to playing sound through the headphones, however BeamNG will not. I am using a 2018 Nitro 5 (AN 515 - 53) running Windows 11, Bose NC 700 headphones and running the latest build of the game.

 

I think there's a bug that prevents you from changing your audio settings in the middle of the game. For example, the audio disappears when I try to switch from my speakers to my heatphones (both bluetooth and plugged in) and vice versa. Not sure if that's the exact thing you're experiencing but just thought it was something worth mentioning anyway.

 

yeah this game for some reason has an audio limitation, once you launch the game the game is 100% stuck in whatever audio output it was at the time of launch, there is no way to change the audio output once beamng was launched.

only thing you can do is restart the game once you set up your audio output.
this is one of the thing thats been annoying me hella too much when playing this game.
it might seem stupidly easy at times but i also want to switch to headphones sometimes, also after setting up a scenario or whatever i may be doing, its extremely annoying having to restart the game for such a simple thing. so many other games lets me change audio output while in-game.

hopefully one day beamng gets a nice quality of life update that fixes little annoyances like this.
