I'm continuously using the bluetooth earphone for online classes and watching the videos from youtube. Before opening the obs studio I was watching the videos on YouTube then I minimize the youtube website then I open the obs studio software then suddenly in my bluetooth earphone the sound of the youtube video was not audible to me but I was not started any work in obs studio. After closing the obs studio software then in my bluetooth earphone sound of the youtube video was audible to me. After realize this bug I was install the obs studio software in my another laptop in Windows 10 then the same issue was occurred. Also I was checked for another bluetooth earphone but same issue was occurred. Hence I realize that when I was working on the obs studio for screen recording in my laptop in Windows 10, when I was connected to bluetooth earphone then obs studio was not working well instead of bluetooth earphone I was using the laptop default speaker or wired earphone then the obs studio was working well. I am facing this issue that's why I'm posting this issue in forum. Please check this issue from your side also.

You experience is regular bluetooth behavior, this is no OBS specific issue.

Explanation:
Bluetooth headsets have 2 modes, one high quality mode for music and regular use, and one voip mode for voice conversation. Windows installs one audio device for each mode. At any given time, one device is active and the other is silent, depending on the mode the headset is currently in. The voice communications device has often the words "hands free" in the name.
The communications device is activated whenever an app is activating the headset mic. In this moment, the regular device gets silent and the hands free device gets activated.
If you open OBS, it activates all devices from Settings->Audio. If you configured the headset mic here, OBS activates the headset mic on start, so your headset switches to hands free mode, so your regular audio device gets silent. This is what you described.

To avoid the headset being switched to hands free mode on OBS start, you need to remove the headset mic from Settings->Audio. Also make sure no "default" entry is present - instead, configure each device directly with its name.
