If your speaker's aren't working, it's because Windows 10 is trying to use Microphone channel as speaker. You can prevent this from happening by turning off a setting, but it'll disable your mic...so there is further troubleshooting to be had.

 

Test it out:

 

1. Start up a session of Battlefield

2. Hit the Windows key to go to desktop

3. Look in bottom-right and you'll notice microphone icon in task tray

4. Click this icon OR go to Settings > Microphone

5. Look for Microphone privacy settings

6. Scroll down on menu and select: Turn OFF "Allow desktop apps to access your microphone"

 

This baffled me for the longest time until I saw that little Microphone icon come up in task tray.
