Bluetooth Audio output stops working when Skate. is loading after launch

Sometimes while gaming I use a Notabrick brand Bluetooth speaker connected to my PC via USB Bluetooth adapter. I am gaming on Steam using Windows 10s latest version. 

Today I launched the game with my speaker connected with Bluetooth. 

Game launched to the main menu and audio was playing normally. I initiated Start on the main menu and the game began to load into a server.

When the loading icon stated "Configuring", all audio ceased on my system, including the Skate game, and all other applications (Spotify and Discord)

I experimented with a second USB Bluetooth adapter, and a SoundCore Bluetooth speaker, and got the same result as before, even with relaunching game, and restarting PC. 

I concluded that the game is interfering with Bluetooth audio connections.
