Airpods Pro mic working?

Hi i was wondering if anyone has been able to get the mic to work on the airpods pro?  I have them connected for output but I can't figure out the mic part.  I followed this to set them up: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth_headset

Re: Airpods Pro mic working?

"The mic part" for bluetooth is usually switching to the HSP profile in pulseaudio's configuration. Maybe post 

pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sources

in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

Re: Airpods Pro mic working?

As mentioned, for the mic to be accessible you need to switch the used bluetooth profile. You can do so in the configuration tab of pavucontrol or with 

pacmd set-card-profile bluez_card.0C_3B_50_7C_5C_F5 headset_head_unit

fair warning, this is expected to result in a quality drop for audio output and there currently do not exist many higher quality implementations for doing both, the extensions apple & co use to allow that regardless are proprietary and not widely available to free OSs. This is expected to see betterment with the bluetooth 5 standard and associated devices, which do not exist yet.

If you feel experimental there are some patches floating around but general support here will be spotty, see e.g. this previous discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1938120

Re: Airpods Pro mic working?

In pavucontrol it says that profile is undefined.  And in the terminal.  Any way to troubleshoot that?

bryan@cave ~> pacmd set-card-profile bluez_card.0C_3B_50_7C_5C_F5 headset_head_unit
Failed to set card profile to 'headset_head_unit'.
