[pulseaudio-discuss] Bluetooth headset profile

[Chris Adams]

I am running Fedora 31, with pulseaudio 13.99.1-3.fc31 and bluez
5.54-1.fc31.  I am unable to get any Bluetooth headset to work in
headset_head_unit (HSP/HFP) mode.  I tried a new headset I just bought
for video chats an old pair of headphones (that I'm pretty sure I used
in headset mode years ago), and a pair of earbuds.

The headset and old earphones both have both Headset and Handsfree
Bluetooth available, so from what I read should work.  The earbuds only
have Handsfree, so I guess that's not even expected to work with Linux.

When I run "pacmd set-card-profile <device> headset_head_unit", it
appears to work, but nothing is heard from the mic and any attempts to
output sound just hang (and no output).

Is there any way to get this working?
