Feature request. # 1 Handsfree/Headset protocol in BT

Post by JLC17 »

Get the Handsfree/Headset protocol for blue tooth working so I can use my BT earbuds on VOIP and other calls. Right now it's either boot into Windows (which, of course does it out of the box without trying) or plug a wired headset in.

Researching the issue it seems it used to do it back in 2015 and then someone forget ?

Works out-of-the-box for me, but I wanted to make sure you had tried ...

Does that work with the microphone ? Because all my attempts - pipewire etc - have failed.

Messed around with all that, and results are as before. Microphone doesn't show as an input.

Booting the exact same setup into Win7 and Win10 the earbuds work perfectly.

So this is a feature that I'd suggest needs fixing into Mint properly.
