I recently got a Bluetooth headset. It worked (more or less) for playing audio & such, but I am unable to use the microphone.
I have read that A2DP does not support audio input (?), and so I tried to switch to HSP/HFP.
If I switch in pavucontrol, it has no effect. If I switch in the blueman devices menu, it simply says:
Failed to change profile to headset_head_unit
I am currently using a fresh install of Xubuntu 16.04.1
Any help would be appreciated!
Note: I have also noticed that I am missing /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
, don't know if that's a problem, and if so, how to I replace it..?
EDIT:
Here are the results from lsusb

A solution seems to be worked on (I hope), I've been following this bug report on Launchpad, but hasn't been very active.
If a solution comes about I'll update my answer.
