Re: Headset and audio profiles

[Jiri Kanicky <j@ganomi.com>]

Hi.

I just tested Bose NC700 headsets on Debian Sid I experience the following behavior.

MS teams:

• When I start KDE i am set to A2DP.
• I open Netflix movie in Firefox - work in A2DP.
• I pause Netflix.
  
• I open MS Teams and start test call, I am automatically switched to HSP/HFP.
• When I stop the call I am still in HSP/HFP. It does not switch back to A2DP even when I play Netflix.
• However if I exit MS teams, it switches to A2DP again.

Zoom:

• Zoom seems to not switch from A2DP to HSP/HFP when I start it. I have to do it manually.
  

So it seems like the apps might play a role in the switching.

BTW the sound on HSP/HFP has got terrible quality. A2DP sounds great, but you cannot do conf calls over Zoom or MS teams in A2DP mode, because the mic does not work (A2DP does not support mic).

Hi:

Not really answering the OP, but last time I looked into this latest bluez didn't support HSP/HFP properly. bluez did on v4, but not on v5. I'll be gladly surprised if HFP works now.

Regards,

I have similar issue. I use Bose N700 and the profile constantly 
switches from High Fidelity Playback (A2DP SInk) to Headset Head Unit 
(HSP/HFP).

I think the headphones mic is not even recognized by the system. It runs 
on notebook mic.

 Good morning,

 I think, that this is more of a pulseaudio problem, but perhaps someone has
 got an idea.

 I have a bluetooth headset, supporting High Fidelity Playback (A2DP profile)
 and Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP profile). Now, every time I connect it, the
 A2DP profile gets chosen, which does not support the headset's microphone. I
 can easily switch to HSP/HFP by means of the sound control applet, but is
 there a way to set HSP/HFP as a default?

 (I already spent an afternoon on that, but all recipes I found did not work.)

 Kindest regards,
