[MC-210431] Minecraft sound doesn't output to USB Bluetooth headset when headset connects while Minecraft is already running

Whenever my headset connects to my computer while it is running Minecraft, the sound from Minecraft does NOT output to headphones. Furthermore, other sounds can be heard (such as YouTube) . This indicates its a Minecraft related issue.

The workaround is to restart Minecraft. Once restarted, sound from Minecraft properly outputs to headset.

Environment

Computer:
Windows 10
Java 1.8.0_271
