Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number NA
Enter RAM memory size in GB NA
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? RobotCaleb
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. NA
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? NA
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? NA
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. All parts
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Playing
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 0
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Always
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? When I hear incoming voice it doesn't come through my system's default communications device.
What should be happening instead? Incoming voice should output through default communications device
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Setup a computer with two audio output devices. Analog Speakers and a USB or Bluetooth headset would work. Set the speakers as default device, set the headset as default communications device. Listen to someone in voice chat, observe it doesn't come through your headset. Recommend querying the system for the default communications device and outputting voice comms through this device. ‌

I mean, ideally we get to choose which audio device to output to.

I think apex legends chooses the devices you choose in the origin launcher.

Try to select there in the settings wich communications device you want to use.

That was a good idea, but after checking this is not a solution.
