In-Game Squad chat is going to wrong device

okay so here is what im dealing with for the last 3 weeks or so...


my in-game VOIP for Squad Chat suddenly stopped going to the correct device,  it has worked flawlessly till about 3 weeks ago,  since Origin Premier release.  i use a logitech headset and have a separate output for my AV Receiver.  

What has changed on my System:  nothing,  sound is via a Sound Blaster Z via 3.5mm Minijack,  the only other device is SP/DIF to my Home Theater with the 3.5mm as default device

Drivers: up-to-date

Audio Device Settings: 

Windows - Default Device is my Logitech Headset for both input and output

Origin - Default Device is set for headset also

In-Game - same as Origin and Windows


ive restarted origin,  windows and it still refuses to output ingame squad VOIP to the headset

    -have you tried to temporary disable the spdif in/output or any other outputs all together

    -reinstall audio drivers

    -remove the bfv user config folder from username\battlefield v\settings before starting the game

    @AOD_CapStar362I think it does reset, so preferable move the folder too the desktop and move back if no progress is made.

    -does your Logi device have its own (active) software, maybe try disabling it or uninstalling completely

    -also if your system comes with onboard audio try disabling this in the bios

    -make sure no old realtek / nahemic software is installed

    -also test if your mic is functional under windows sound\imput > listen too device

    @XTRA-Larsiano onboard is disabled in BIOS, windows test came back fine, as well as SB CPL.

    no it does not have active software for the headset, only the G502 HERO and G110 KB.

    disabled the SPDIF, that worked, but, i actively switch to it when streaming movies and other activities such as Winamp. and sometimes put games to it.

    im gonna try resetting the profile folder, ill copy my keybinds file specifically

    @XTRA-LarsianoAHHAA!!

    found it, the one setting i forgot about, that a recent windows update changed.


    "Default Communication Device"

    sadly, this is not part of the default menu system for Win10. you have to go back into the legacy CPL and under sound, set the preferred "Communication" device.

    ok, NOW it works.

    thanks for the link to the other topic where someone mentioned that. all good now

    I XP'ed all the comments for your help,  thanx again
