Unplugging my speakers and plugging in my headphones while DayZ is running causes DayZ to stop outputting audio. Other applications (Chrome in the background for example) work fine. Restarting DayZ resolves the issue. I've noticed this happen a couple of times (I'll launch DayZ and then realise I forgot to plug headphones in) but haven't actively tried to reproduce it.

Additional Information
As far as I know, it started with .61 (experimental). I don't remember it happening in previous versions.

It uses whatever is set to the default playback device in windows. It does not change audio devices on the fly, and takes restarting the game.
