My Bluetooth Headset is only detected as Headphones

Hey guys,

Today i got a bluetooth headset, but the microphone isn't detected as audio source in pulse. It seems to only use A2DP. How can i get it so i can switch between A2DP and HSP/HFP in pavucontrol if thats even possible?

Greetings, Kilobyte

//EDIT: A lot of further googling yielded in me finding out i need the git version of pulse, its compiling atm, will tell you when done

Bluez5 has removed HSP/HFP support, you would need to downgrade to bluez4 (in AUR) and use pulseaudio-bluez4 (also in AUR) in order to use your headset's microphone.

Ye, got that part already, sadly couldn't get bluez4 to work, will prob try again now

Wait, are you saying bluez5 has no more HSP/HFP at all? or just that pulse does not support it yet?

// EDIT: according to http://www.bluez.org/profiles/ HFP is supported, even if not by bluez itself

oFono is working on HFP support, but last I heard it wasn't ready yet so pulseudio has no support for it, hopefully this will stabilize soon.

The official packages don't support Bluez4 anymore for GUI bluetooth configuration, I have bluez4/pulseaudio-bluez4/bluedevil working on my computer, if you use KDE I'll let you know what to do to install the old version of bluedevil.
