dani_00 1 Posted April 6, 2019 Hey, I have been wanting to get back to Arma3 after a long hiatus. Been trying to continue my Apex Protocol campaign but the sound on my bluetooth headset stops working (for all applications) when the game starts (everything works fine while in the menus). Everything also works with the 3.5 speakers, but with these headphones literally all system sounds are shut off when the mission starts. It does not happen on other missions, just Apex Protocol so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanhope 409 Posted April 6, 2019 USB headsets have always had issues with arma. And as far as I know no solution has been found yet. For now the only solution appears to be switching to a headset with a 3.5mm jack. But search around for USB headset in this subforum a bit, I might have missed a fix that works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldbear 390 Posted April 6, 2019 A Bluetooth headset is not a USB headset, even if the dongle is on a USB connector. I will not recommend a Bluetooth headset for playing because of possible interference from hardware and/or software. From my own experience, the best solution is a headset with a cable featuring 3.5 mm connectors and a USB sound card/interface. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dani_00 1 Posted April 6, 2019 Been playing other games with them as bluetooth, plus wireless mouse and keyboard, and all has been fine. But anyway, following your two comments, plugging in a 3.5mm cable from the speakers to the headset solves it, so I'll use that. Doesn't change the experience any bit, so no problem! Thank you both.

USB connector seems to be the problem though. Any headset that's connected via USB in any shape or form tends to cause problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
