Description

Since upgrading to Windows 10, I've discovered a bug where Mumble won't send audio through my default audio device until I click "Apply" in Audio Output settings.

To replicate: Assuming I start with mumble working, bluetooth audio is working correctly

  • In Windows 10, disconnect bluetooth headphones.
  • Connect bluetooth headphones ** Notice that in Mumble, I will not receive audio, which means their little blue indicators do not indicate chatter, either ** To fix,
  • In Mumble Configure > Settings > Audio Output... click Apply

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Mumble detects audio device changes on Windows. Look at the audio output settings handler and trace the event when Bluetooth disconnects/reconnects.
