No Bluetooth Headphone Audio
The headphone are connected and selected as the playback device in both desktop mode and game mode. The volume is turned up, but there's no sound. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I also tried using a Bluetooth headset and found if I disconnected all other Bluetooth items it would output some audio but it was heavily distorted.

Hi, I have the exact same issue. I have managed to pinpoint it to where some games will start and change the audio mode. With wired earbuds this can be very very briefly heard at the start as a slight distortion that lasts like 1/5th of a second.
When that happens with BT, there is no audio via the headset anymore.
I have tried this with AirPods Pro 2nd gen, Earfun AirPro, and JBL Live400, they all behave the same.

This just happened on my deck. Bluetooth ear buds are connected bur the audio is coming from the decks speakers. I've tried game mode and desktop. Same issue. How do we fix it

I somehow can’t believe we’re the only people with this issue.

Same problems, had to go into desktop mode to input my car head units pin, paired it, selected it as the audio device, no audio.

I fixed this issue by enabling sound for Virtual Sink device in desktop mode sound settings. Somehow it was disabled by itself
