2021, Ubuntu 20.04.2 and this is still not fixed. Some answers here don't seem acceptable. We keep getting advised to turn voice notifications off. Well, that's a headset feature I needed, and even made me buy this Bose. We probably like or need the voice notification, you cannot just suggest to remove the safety belt in your car if it's blocked.
Windows handles the bluetooth much better in my opinion, so what is the difference? Can't the BT behaviour just be reproduced on Ubuntu? Why does A2DP prevents the mic from being used? Or why does the HSP format introduces the "Call from"..." message? How does Windows allows to both use the mic and have no voice message? Well, I believe Windows uses some kind of mode called "Communication", which must be selected on both input and output. At least that's what I do and it works smoothly. Would that be a hint? This bug is very annoying however, and still not assigned to anyone. I don't get that (QC35 is the most used headset at work in the world I think) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553669 Title: Annoying "call from" message when connecting Bose devices Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a bluetooth Bose OE SoundLink working on Kubuntu 15.10 but each time I initially connect to listen to an audio or video, I hear an annoying "Call from" on my headset. My headset seems to think a connection to a phone call is taking place. This is annoying because the audio will start to play and after a little while the "call from" voice talks over the audio.
