Note: AudioClip doesn't play even after disconnecting the Bluetooth device

  1. Resolution Note:

    This has unfortunately always been the case with Unity Audio on certain platforms, like Android. When we connect or dis-connect Bluetooth headphones, the default output device changes and we currently have to re-init our audio engine, which causes all currently-playing audio state to be lost. We are working towards eliminating the scenarios where this happens, but we are not there yet. For now, you'll need to detect when this happens via the AudioSettings.OnAudioConfigurationChanged callback, and re-start any important background music and/or looping sounds that were playing before the configuration change.
