Windows 10: Cant hear computer audio when using a video chat service, please help

I connected my Bluetooth headphones to the computer. I can hear music and my games etc.. When I make a google hangout call, all audio from my computer goes mute except the google hangout call. No matter what I do, I cant seem to hear any other audio during the google hang out call. If I close out of the google hangout call, I can hear everything again. How do I enable all audio during google hangout calls? This also happens during a discord call.
