I installed pulseaudio-modules-bt and it does give some new options for sound output and possibly better sound, but microphone sound quality was still iffy. Recorded sound on Audacity seemed better and was slightly louder (according to the DB meter), but a test call on Microsoft Teams was still muffled and unintelligible.
I have ordered a Avantree DG80 dongle (which makes the bluetooth connection externally and appears to linux as usb audio) and will hopefully be able to continue working with that, but I would love to see this problem resolved in pulseaudio. For the record, I am using a Sony WH-1000XM4 headset on PopOS 20.10 running on a System76 Darter Pro. -- 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.
