Hello, I have a problem with Discord and my Bluetooth headset.
The issue is as follows: when I'm playing a video game with my headset and I start a voice call on Discord, the game sound stops.
If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution, it would help me a lot.

I have the same solution to the problem as another user
So right-click on the sound icon at the bottom right on Windows 10,
then "open sound settings",
then "sound control panel" in the top right
In "playback" > For the audio playback device you have, right-click property / advanced settings and uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
In "recording" > Choose the mic you have (hand free for me), right-click property / advanced settings and uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
To test that it works well, you can, without needing to call someone, join a multi-person conversation channel.
On Discord, if Windows has trouble identifying what the default devices are, you can determine on Discord what yours are =
The input device (the "mic") is the HandFree (hands-free, the mic function of a Bluetooth headset)
The output device (the "sound") is the name of the headset you have
(if you see a headset "HandFree" it's the device that serves to make "audio feedback" to listen to your own voice, which can or may not be useful depending on the type of headset you have, I don’t use that personally.)

Hello, it's late but I had the same problem and I managed to solve it, I'll explain:
In the bottom right corner, right-click on the volume icon and click on "Sound". Then, at the top left, go to "Playback". Select the Bluetooth headset, right-click on it, then "Properties". Click on "Advanced" and disable the exclusive mode "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device", press "Apply" and click "OK", and you're good to go.
I recommend completely disabling the headset's stereo output device before launching your game so that it uses the headset's hands-free output device. Discord uses the hands-free option, and games tend to use the default stereo option, which is where this little issue arises.
