Ofono is not necessary AFAICT, pulseaudio has a native backend (headset=native option). > > * What was the outcome of this action? > > It still doesn't work, i.e. output is fine, but no input, no sound on the mic. > 'Pactl list' still says: no support for hsp/hfp.

Ubuntu 16.04 has a different version for bluez, this may be related. The issue might be in bluez and not in pulseaudio. To debug this, please attach: 1. The output of `pactl list` with the device attached 2. A verbose log of pulseaudio when pairing the device[1]. Please remove the headset=ofono option from the configuration, so that the native backend is used. AFAICT the ofono support does not bring the features you need[2] [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log [2] https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/6.0/#bluetoothhsphfpsupportwithbluez5 -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
