Windows 10: Bluetooth headphones mute apps?

Okay, so I've recently bought a Sony WH-XB700, and I use it for music, as well as audiocalls.

At first I thought it was because of Discord, but now I moved to Skype, and when I join a Skype call, or even just ring someone, all the other apps music, games, movies, anything are instantly muted, and even when I quit Skype completely, not just moving it to the tray, the other apps are still muted. They only work once I rebooted my computer/reconnected my Bluetooth headphones.

This is utterly frustrating, as I am sometimes unable to use a speaker, and I sometimes need to listen to other apps, while in-call. Not to mention the hassle of always rebooting my system, my apps, or reconnect my headphones.


Please help, I am at the end of my wits already.


Faitfully, Peter

Bluetooth not recognising headphones

Bluetooth on my PC recognises, pairs with and works with an ear piece headphone/mic.
Bluetooth on my Smartphone recognises, pairs with and works with an Ausdom headphone.
Therefore all hardware works.

However, PC Bluetooth will not recognise, let alone pair with, Ausdom headphone.

I have tried re-boots, turning Bluetooth on/off, uninstalling, re-loading drivers, etc. I have run out of ideas.

Any suggestions please?
