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

Hello Mattes,

the bluetooth dongle works fine for me. But I rather would like to be
able to connect it to my laptop with the build in bluetooth.

But appart from that nothing you described worked for me. I only see
it as output device, but never as input device.

I am using BLuez 5.37 and pulseaudio 8.9 on Gentoo.

Other BT device seem to work - or lets say worked, I have to try it
again with another headset if I find it...

Greetings,
Bjoern
