Hi all, I have an interesting issue that I’m hoping can be solved. I have a pair of Anker Soundcore A40 earbuds and they connect fine to the Deck. However the Deck doesn’t pick up on the microphone input at all - I’ve had a look under input devices and it fails to show up. Is there anything I can do (packages, drivers etc) to get this to work?

    I’m pretty sure this is just a problem with Bluetooth capabilities for headsets in general. If you lower the sound quality to phone mode it should let you enable the microphone. I think phones just automatically switch modes when you go into a call but computers you have to do it manually. Some Linux distro configurations don’t prevent you from choosing audio settings that don’t work and I suspect steam deck os is one of them.
