Steam Deck - Game not utilizing connected bluetooth audio source

[dom]

Hopefully I'm not alone here, currently have bluetooth buds connected to my deck (running stable OS branch) and Transistor will NOT use them for audio output, and instead uses the deck's onboard speakers.

As far as I can tell theres no in game option for audio out, I've tried restarting, having the buds connected before, during, etc having the game open. And nothing seems to get the audio to change.

When using the deck's onboard volume buttons, the volume is adjusted on the bluetooth device only, (as is expected) so I cant turn the volume down on the decks speakers either. UI and other steam OS sounds also come through the bluetooth device as well. Even while the game plays audio outloud.

After Installation I had no sound as well on Bluetooth.
Switched BT off and on, now it works.

For me it fixes when I turn the headphones off and back on while having the game open

bluetooth or not, im getting no audio. other games are fine. just not transistor.

I am having the same issue on both bluetooth headphones, and hdmi output. The game seems to be stuck on the steamdeck as the audio output device, despite what OS is doing.

You just have to turn off bluetooth in-game and then enable it again.
