Dead Space 3 Audio cuts from headphones to speakers

Playing Dead Space 3, when I load a saved game while using headphones (connected via headphone jack, NOT usb). The sounds stop coming through the headphones (Sounds while in start menu's are fine), the moment the game loads. Sound is instead being pumped through my speakers.

    I actually found a fix shortl after I posted this, just make sure your headphones aren't set to "default communication device" and that headphones and speakers are the all around default, that fixed it for me.

    When I start Dead Space 3 the audio comes out of my speaker system perfectly fine.  After a minute or so or after starting a game the audio switched to the laptops internal speakers.  Any suggestions?  The original Dead Space and other games I have are fine.

    Hi.. I came to ask is there a fix for the conflict on Dolby Home Theater when you play Dead Space 3? Every time I continue from last save (I think), Origin disables the home theater audio feature. But it works fine when I'm not playing Dead Space 3. Help please?

    go to sound icon in bottom right > playback devices > disable "communication device" (i.e. headphones)

    Damn I got it finally, yes the problem IS BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES SPEAKER, but it's not that obviously easy to turn it off in Windows - after going to sound panel you should disable it in TWO tabs like in my picture (sry, my Windows is russian but I think you'll get it :P )

    It still sucks that you have to do it, though. But then again I encountered that trouble in other games aswell.
