I've added a new error report that goes beyond this issue, but is related to it, #1917358. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1917358
There are other interactions with Bluetooth and PulseAudio, making quite a mess of things. I tried the suggestion in Comment #74 without any success. I've tried a lot of combinations of things, discovering a number of misbehaviors documented there. My concern is, since this problem has been floating around for 11 years+ now, it may be that no one is ever going to fix it. It should at least be made explicit and clear that headset and earphone such microphones do not work with Ubuntu; I've wasted a couple of days fighting this, and now probably need to fall back to a Windows system to use for Zoom with headset. Of course, that means Zoom, and phones through the computer for Customer Relations, and Tech Support, and thousands of other usages. But at least they should not waste their time as I have, trying to set it up under Linux/Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508522 Title: Add automatic switching to HSP/HFP from A2DP when a mic is needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/508522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
