    Connect your Bluetooth headphones to PC, my steps are on windows 10

    Sound settings>Sound control panel(top right)>Recording tab>DISCONNECT the Headset of your headphones(Hands Free Audio) , set the inbuilt mic on the PC as the default device( for example mines the inbuilt mic on my laptop, Shows up as Microphone)

    On Playback tab DISABLE the Bluetooth headset Hands free and set the Bluetooth headphones as the default device

    This made both my headphones and mic to work in game

    This is a windows issue and not an apex issue as far as I can tell, I had to play around a bit before i fixed it, Let me know if it works , Happy Gaming

@KrakensPepega This is the kind of brilliance we need. Thank you for your help. After I read this post, i literally had an epiphany. I could have figured this out myself lol. Absolutely logical brilliance. Thank you so much because i was literally driving myself crazy for hours trying to fix this, but your solution was the only logical course of action after I thought about it. Brilliance Sir or Mam. Brilliance. You.
