Comment 31 for bug 1553669

2021, Ubuntu 20.04.2 and this is still not fixed.

Some answers here don't seem acceptable. We keep getting advised to turn voice notifications off. Well, that's a headset feature I needed, and even made me buy this Bose. We probably like or need the voice notification, you cannot just suggest to remove the safety belt in your car if it's blocked.

Windows handles the bluetooth much better in my opinion, so what is the difference? Can't the BT behaviour just be reproduced on Ubuntu? Why does A2DP prevents the mic from being used? Or why does the HSP format introduces the "Call from"..." message? How does Windows allows to both use the mic and have no voice message?

Well, I believe Windows uses some kind of mode called "Communication", which must be selected on both input and output. At least that's what I do and it works smoothly. Would that be a hint?

This bug is very annoying however, and still not assigned to anyone. I don't get that (QC35 is the most used headset at work in the world I think)
