 Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2020 1:25 am Post subject: Bluetooth headset/mic not working |
 |
|
Hi. I have a bluetooth headset w/ microphone that I just can't get working. Would really appreciate any assistance.
I'm not especially familiar with either bluez or pulseaudio, but I got as far as getting the headphones working. Just can't get the mic working.
It looks like the main issue is that my headphones are connecting with the "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)" profile. That works fine for playback, but no mic is available. If I switch the profile to "Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP)" a new input device for the microphone appears, but the headphones stop working.
When I say stops working, I mean audio will not play through it. Eg., if I have Clementine playing music through my headphones (when set to A2DP), when I switch it to HSP/HFP the audio just stops playing. Clementine doesn't stop playback, it just hangs, like the audio is somehow being blocked.
I've done a fair amount of searching, but so far only see people asking about the opposite problem - how to make A2DP playback work because it's apparently better quality. I don't care about A2DP, I just need both the headphones and mic working.
Any pointers?
I'm not sure what would be helpful for troubleshooting this. Here's my bluetooth headset as output by 'pacmd list-cards':
| Code: | index: 5

device.form_factor = "headphone"
bluez.path = "/org/bluez/hci0/dev_20_74_CF_41_D3_03"

bluez.alias = "Aeropex by AfterShokz"
device.icon_name = "audio-headphones-bluetooth"

And here's the device info from bluetoothctl:

Finally, here are the versions and USE flags enabled for each:

Again, would appreciate any pointers. I'm completely out of ideas at this point.

I am also trying to make my bluetooth headset working right now 
Check your /var/log/daemon.log where bluetoothd writes its log on your system.
I have there
| Code: |

| Well, there are links that state that hands-free profiles suffered regression under Bluez5, but I thought it would have been solved by now ? |
