Re: Plantronics Voayger Focus UC (B825-M) - microphone not working

Bjoern,

for recording with the PLT Voyager Focus you should select 
  * Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP)    in pavucontrol -> configuration

then start a recording app. e.g. audacity or arecord, select/configure
pulseaudio as audio input.  Back in pavucontrol you can now select the 
recording tab and you will see your app running there. Here select your desired
audio input.

PS:  just tried mine with my current setup. I know it was working and one
point. Though many 'yum updates' later, it is failing to configure and
connecting with the correct profile. 

Not sure if this now a pulseaudio issue or bluez.
I am running bluez-5.29-2 with pulseaudio-6.0.4 on Fedora 21.

the syslog reports the following:
 bluetoothd[704]: connect error" connection refused (111)
 bluetoothd[704]: can't store name for private addressed device
/org/bluez/hci0/dev_4c_bb_58_b1_93_3f

Have you tried the USB bluetooth dongle (bt600) that comes with the headset?
That still works for me for just fine for playback and recordings.
