Description of problem: Please check these comments: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/776#note_522208 un resume: seems that no one (or most users) in linux desktop is able to properly use headset bluetooth audio devices out of the box. You can also see some other related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1789358 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1821015 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1311238 Today days, linux is just a great OS with excellent support for most of the hardware, I use it daily in all my personal computers and on my family computers and there are thousands or millons of linux desktop users around the globe. But it's really a shame to see this lack of support for bluetooth Headset because those are really popular today days. Linux and the entire open source community including individuals and organizations supporting it are just awesome, I think this is something that only requires a couple of those awesome individuals or organizations focusing on this issue for some weeks to resolve it, but seems that currently there is no enough attention on this topic, that's main reason why I'm raising this new bug, to try to make it more visible and attract the attention of some of you. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all versions. How reproducible: try to use a bluetooth headset with good quality or mic, you will fail. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect a bluetooth headset 2. check the audio quality -> probably bad 3. try to use mic - > probably you won't be able to use it at all. Actual results: Same as steps to repoduce Expected results: Having good bluetooth audio quality Enable mic of bluetooth headset to be working and with good quality. Additional info:
I have read this article: https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2020/09/04/pipewire-late-summer-update-2020/ Looks like pipewire is now the focus and promises a lot! could it bring the solution to this issue in the near future too?
Looks like there is also some work done here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/227
Good news. Updates from pipewire changelog: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/blob/master/NEWS --- omitted lines --- - Device support - Bluetooth now supports additional codecs: LDAC, AptX and AptX HD. LDAC is known to not work very well yet. --- omitted lines --- Fedora 34 could move to pipewire by default, some testing still ongoing/needed. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ZWIX7EQG6EHXVGJBENN6JH3XGYLX3FTW/ But possible to test in fedora rawhide. I will try pipewire 0.3.18 once available on fedora-testing 33, then will comment here.
Created attachment 1750144 [details] headset with microphone working on pipewire 3.20 pipewire 3.20 resolves the support for linux bluetooth headset.
today I tested pipewire-pulseaudio 3.20 and looks like everything is resolved for bluetooth support. Attached screenshot. So if everything goes well and Fedora replaces pulseaudio with pipewire: we can consider this as resolved. https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/release-notes/issue/611 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1906086 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultPipeWire https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/tags/0.3.20

In my case (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1909976), the mic is still not recognized as input device. I tried the f34 srpm since the volume keys do not work for me in f33 pipewire.
@Basil, are you able to change the profile of the bluetooth devices in sound settings or pavucontrol? You have to change to some profile that allows mic, example hsp/hfp...

I am able to change the profile. But hsp is missing which I think is needed for the mic. I added the screen shot.
Since the mic of other hardware already works with pipewire, maybe this issue is specific to my headset? Although this works fine in android. $pactl list sources Source #65614 State: SUSPENDED Name: bluez_output.A8_99_DC_11_1B_72.a2dp-sink.monitor Description: Monitor of SOUNDPEATS Truengine 3 SE Driver: PipeWire Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 48000Hz Channel Map: front-left,front-right Owner Module: 4294967295 Mute: no Volume: front-left: 54089 / 83% / -5.00 dB, front-right: 54089 / 83% / -5.00 dB balance 0.00 Base Volume: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB Monitor of Sink: bluez_output.A8_99_DC_11_1B_72.a2dp-sink Latency: 0 usec, configured 0 usec Flags: HARDWARE DECIBEL_VOLUME LATENCY Properties: api.bluez5.transport = "" api.bluez5.profile = "a2dp-sink" api.bluez5.codec = "sbc" card.profile.device = "1" api.bluez5.address = "A8:99:DC:11:1B:72" device.id = "89" device.description = "SOUNDPEATS Truengine 3 SE" node.name = "bluez_output.A8_99_DC_11_1B_72.a2dp-sink" factory.name = "api.bluez5.a2dp.sink" priority.driver = "1010" priority.session = "1010" node.pause-on-idle = "false" factory.id = "8" device.api = "bluez5" media.class = "Audio/Sink" node.driver = "true" node.latency = "512/48000" factory.mode = "merge" audio.adapt.follower = "" library.name = "audioconvert/libspa-audioconvert" object.id = "78" client.id = "30" Formats: pcm
It seems some changes have been made. I updated my system and built https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/pipewire/0.3.22/7.fc34/src/pipewire-0.3.22-7.fc34.src.rpm I can finally choose the HSP profile. The mic works but audio output is garbled. I can hear only noise. My issue is now similar to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/503 Other profiles still work with great audio output quality but without mic input.
