I am using a wireless headset (specifically Taotronics BH085's), and a bluetooth adapter from Techkey since my mobo doesn't have integrated bluetooth. Whenever I connect my headset and launch Apex, there's no audio. When I tab out there is no audio for any other programs aswell. When I close Apex the audio and input works fine. The only fix I have found for the lack of audio is to have the headphones connected, launch Apex, disconnect the headphones and then reconnect them. This fixes the audio but disables the microphone. It seems for bluetooth headphones to work with is to have the microphone disabled. I am not the only one with this issue, as stated in this  thread. It's not the end of the world if don't have comms but I would like to know if there's a solution to this problem.
