Hi, I'm trying to use my Angteela BH-M9 bluetooth headset on fedora35. I can get the output speakers to work, but the mic does not. Is this supported?
I've seen several other references to others having difficulty, but no solutions, or they were for much older versions of fedora.
I can connect the the device to bluetooth, but it apparently doesn't detect it as a potential input device.
When I click the "sound settings" for the bluetooth device, the "Input" tab just shows "no input sources are currently available."
I have no idea how to get started troubleshooting this.

Bluetooth headsets typically offer multiple profiles, and usually Linux defaults to the headphone (output only) profile. The easiest thing I've found is to install pavucontrol, because it puts everything necessary in one panel.
There's a configuration tab - you can switch to a headset profile there, then you can switch to the input tab to check the level. And then when you have an application trying to record, you can switch to the recording and playback tabs to make sure it's using the correct devices.

Okay, that shows progress, but it still doesn't appear to present it as a possible input device.
The "Configuration" tab shows the BH-M9 headset, and I've selected "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink: SBC)" as the option. The others are "unavailable."
However, the "Input Devices" tab shows "Built-In Audio Analog Stereo" with Port showing Front and Rear and Line In, all of which are "unplugged".

The playback (A2DP) profiles are all output-only. You need a Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP) profile to enable input.
I'm not sure why you might not see any though. I have several Bluetooth headsets (one ear with boom mic, earbuds, and full headphones with a mic), and they all show HSP/HFP profiles.
