Tested on desktop PC without built-in Bluetooth. Media key presses work for volume, double press next, single press pause, triple click previous. Update headset firmware to latest version 0.2.7.Īpply module loading to /etc/pulse/default.pa and system.pa with latest version of Bluez as device and module will not load otherwise. The capabilities of the device are dependent on the Bluetooth controller being used. This setup can be used either completely without Pulseaudio, or you can then use your headset as another ALSA device in Pulseaudio (in which case disable its bluetooth support, so the two don't collide). You can use bluez-alsa to provide integration between Bluez and ALSA. You might have luck building the current development version from source using this merge request 288 and the accompanying hsphfpd. Pulseaudio 13.0 does not support HFP properly. Headset using HSP will usually work out-of-the-box with the current pulseaudio version. In order for the microphone to work the headset has to switch from the A2DP protocol to HSP/HFP. There is two protocols for handling microphone input (and button input) from headsets: HSP and HFP.
