No audio at all past MCC startup cutscene, but only with Bluetooth headphones.

[ProfessorLeskinen]

Just bought the Master Chief Collection. Whenever I launch the game and get past the startup cutscene, all audio cuts out and the game becomes soundless. I even lose all audio for my entire PC. This only happens whenever I'm using my Bluetooth headphones. It doesn't occur when my headphones are plugged in with a 3.5mm cord, and it doesn't happen with regular speakers.

I have perfect audio from when I launch MCC up until the first time it says "PRESS [Enter] TO START". Once I hit enter, or just click the screen, there's a brief pop before all audio cuts off. From that point on, I get no audio anywhere on my PC. YouTube audio doesn't work, system sounds don't play, etc. Even though the sound system tells me my headphones are still selected. This persists until I quit MCC, at which point audio returns immediately, before the window even closes.

I tried disabling every audio output in control panel except for my headphones (not headset), to no effect.

Does anyone have a potential fix for this?

To help a future person that might find this. There's a number of fixes for blue tooth out there. I'm using windows 11 and none of them worked or were available. Finally found a fix though. Go into the sound settings for your blue sound device. Find audio enhancements and change it from default to off. That finally stop sound from cutting off like described above.
