Arch Linux User Repository

You need to start the hsphfpd.service from the hsphfpd-git package.

Yes, so there's a big drama about merging these patches into pulseaudio which led pali to retract his work.

The package seems to be broken, as the user pali has made their gitlab account private and retracted their changes:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pali/ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/227#note_712800

it doesn't look like we'll be getting these patches back, so this package will likely have to be abandoned.

It's currently not possible to have high mic quality in Linux. See this recent comment from Pali: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/227#note_709033

First of all, thanks for making these "-hsphfpd" AUR build available!

But how am I supposed to use the microphone of my bluetooth headsets in high-quality mode? In blueman-manager, I have two profiles that enable the microphone of the headset: Headset Head Unit (HSP) and Headset Head Unit (HFP). I seem to have the same, terrible microphone quality with both of them that I normally have.

I just installed these packages:

alsa-card-profiles-hsphfpd 14.0+120+g5cd7563bd-1
hsphfpd-git r19.58ffbf8-1
libpulse-hsphfpd 14.0+120+g5cd7563bd-1
pulseaudio-bluetooth-hsphfpd 14.0+120+g5cd7563bd-1
pulseaudio-equalizer-hsphfpd 14.0+120+g5cd7563bd-1
pulseaudio-hsphfpd 14.0+120+g5cd7563bd-1
pulseaudio-zeroconf-hsphfpd 14.0+120+g5cd7563bd-1

Hi, I edit the PKGBUILD so to expose the fork repo, as it seems not recommended to download things from inside pkgbuild other than source=() funciton.

please check.

Does this branch need any additional setup? When I try to connect to my headset, bluetoothctl says "Protocol not available".

Please stay on pali's branch - the one that implements this feature, that will be merged at some point. MarijnS95's branch did not supersede the one from pali and I think it's not wise to use a features patch branch from someone else as the source for the features package.

"I included absolute-volume-on-hsphfpd branch into my hsphfpd branch and therefore it is now in this merge request." -pali

Nevertheless thank you for this package!

Well I'm testing it for several days and it works (tm). Not sure about more sophisticated use cases than "I have bluetooth headset and I want it to work, at last", though.

Not sure if the PKGBUILD is entirely fine this way, but I'm now merging the current version from the Arch Linux package with the absolute-volume-on-hsphfpd branch, as proposed by annisar. Seems to work.
