Audio lost after hitting Continue with Bluetooth headphones

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug I have sounds when starting the game but when I reach the continue screen and I hit enter, I'm losing all of my sounds on PC. If I close the game, I have my sounds again (eg. Spotify). Also if I open Services and find Windows Audio, right click on it and hit Restart, the sounds are back on, but it's annoying to do it every time. I'm a streamer so it's very annoying to lose all sounds on your PC, Spotify stops responding and you need to get everything back online. I'm using Bluetooth headphones. If I have the sound coming from my monitor (Acer VG270U P), I don't have the same problem. The sounds are working after I hit Continue. I changed my sound settings from Windows to use the headphones for NFS but nothing changed. I tried to start the game as administrator but it's not starting. EA opens and it doesn't start at all so I changed it back. With the newest update of the game and the previous Nvidia Geforce Experience drivers, I had the sounds but after I updated to the latest drivers, I don't have the sounds again.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have PC 2. Have Windows 10 3. Have the latest Nvidia Geforce Experience drivers 3. Have Bluetooth headphones 4. Have Spotify or something else playing, too 5. Start the game from Steam or EA 6. Reach the Continue screen 7. Tap on Continue 8. All Windows sounds should stop playing now
What happens when the bug occurs? All Windows sounds stop playing
What do you expect to see? All Windows sounds should be still playing

I'll appreciate it if you can fix this!

Overwatch 2 is having a sound screen in their Settings menu where you can set the playback device you are using so maybe this will help this game, too.
