Windows Central Question

Hi there,

I have a bluetooth headset that I use to chat with. I have set it as Default Communication Device in "Audio settings".
My Surface Pro 3 speakers and microphone are set as "default device".

With this setting I was hoping that my bluetooth headset would only be used when I'm on a phone call, or when I send audio messages through different apps.

However, I keep hearing all the audio through the headset such as game audio, notifications etc. Is there anyway to bypass this?

If not, I don't see the point in having "Default communication device" if all other audio is going to be streamed through to my headset.

Thank you for your help!
