Has anyone tried a headset like the Jabra Evolve 65 with Tumbleweed? I need a headset for things like Teams, and I am considering this Bluetooth headset. I generally do not use Bluetooth, so I'm not sure how well it is working with things like this. My laptop's built-in microphone is pretty crappy (very bad quality sound), so I am looking for an alternative. And there is the disturbance factor. My laptop does not have any standard USB ports, so I am trying not to get devices that need this. An adapter is ok. But if I can avoid it, that is a plus.

I can't say for your setup but I've got Jabra 75t (had Jabra 65t before) and they're working fine with my ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th and Tumbleweed as we speak. I haven't used Teams but I checked with Skype now and made a test call and it was without problems. I use them rarely with my laptop. Hope that helps.

When you say they work without issues, how do you mean that? For me, i'm using Gnome specifically because i can easily change the headset profile of my Bose QC35 II from 'High Fidelity Playback' which has no microphone but better sound quality to profile 'Headset Head Unit' with the extension 'Sound Output & Input Device Chooser' [1] But then again I use MS Teams on a Windows 10 VM via VirtualBox. Does your headphone change the profile automatically? BR, Syds

But then again I use MS Teams on a Windows 10 VM via VirtualBox.

The Teams client for Linux has been working fine for me. Video, lots of users in a meeting, shared desktops have all worked without a problem.

The only issue has been my microphone quality. Maybe I have missed some configuration to make it better. I generally do not use a microphone.

My current method is to join Teams meeting both on my laptop (Linux app) and on my phone. I use the phone for audio (the microphone being the reason for the phone). It actually works very well. But I want to ditch the telephone...

Yeah that's how I usually join the meetings too, however some meeting don't allow me to transfer the sound to my phone.. So for those times i have a wired Jabra Evolve 20 SE MS and just use the mic of that. Which also helps as the people on the meeting can totally hear the other people around me when i'm using my Bose. /Syds

Standard setup. But probably using the internal mic. See below.

Your right. The same for me. I might have used the built in mic first. Got it working through HSP/HFP. The A2DP was high fidelity and had no mic.

But then again I use MS Teams on a Windows 10 VM via VirtualBox.

Does your headphone change the profile automatically?

No. Didn't know this before but I fiddle around with it now and got it working manually with pavucontrol and pulsevolume in the tray (switching between HSP/HFP and A2DP). Made another test call to skype and it worked as it should with HSP/HFP (speaker and mic from bt headset). I tried to get it to switch automatically but couldn't get it to work correctly. There is a suggestion to get things to switch streams from one virtual unit to another with pulseaudio-module-gsettings installed but I didn't test that. -- /bengan

Tested now. It switched automatically from A2DP to HSP/HFP when starting skype and the test call was using the bt mic. When I turned of skype it switched back to A2DP. -- /bengan

That sounds like what my internal microphone was like. So perhaps it's not the microphone but Teams.

No, this noise of mine is different, generated by software. The internal mikes often capture vibration noise from the fans or hard disks.

I need to see if I can borrow a headset from someone...

Good idea. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
