Hi everyone, small progress report :
I tried the pipewire trick and it didn't work out for me, while it initially seemed to work: auto switch to the HSP/HPF profile didn't work and after a manual switch the headset would drop out during a conversation. I reverted to pulseaudio and invested a bit more time, now I am _almost_ there : I had to add the following to ~/.config/pulse/default.pa .include /etc/pulse/default.pa .nofail unload-module module-bluetooth-policy .fail .ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2 .endif .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so load-module module-bluetooth-discover .endif to get the autoswitch to work. I am happy to report that in slack (from snap) the audio now behaves just right and friends tell me I no longer sound like a robot. Unfortunately this still doesn't work with zoom and there seems to be multiple issues. They probably come from zoom itself but I am unsure what to report to them. according to https://gavv.github.io/articles/pulseaudio-under-the- hood/#autodetecting-properties it should be possible to make pulseaudio understand that it has to switch profiles by changing /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop and adding Telephony to the categories. I have not been able to make this work without auto_switch=2 Here are two scenarios that fail: after a fresh boot (so all the stars are aligned), start zoom, create a new meeting, start the recording, say a few words, stop the recording, stop the meeting, open the resulting audio or video file the sound is bad when it is expected to be good. After a fresh boot (so all the stars are aligned), start zoom, go to settings-> audio, after doing this my headset is non functional and I must shut it down and start it back up to restore functionality. can someone help me determine what zoom is doing wrong ? I will also try a few other apps in the coming weeks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838151 Title: Poor quality audio with modern Bluetooth headsets in HSP/HFP.
