Soundcore Space Q45 microphone does not work

I have connected this Bluetooth headset with a Debian 12 and it recognizes it correctly, but I don’t see the microphone working. I have checked and on this system PipeWire is used as a replacement for pulseaudio.

Has anyone been able to get the headset to work with the microphone on any debian-like or linux in general?

Similar problem here, I have connected the Space Q45 via Bluetooth to Ubuntu 24.04 and the incoming audio sounds excellent, but the microphone is not working.

My two other ones Life Q20 and Life Q20i work as expected.

I had the same problem.
After connection my headphones via Bluetooth, they codec A2DP was used. With this codec, I had no microphone listed.
Changing the used codec to HFP, a microphone was listed.

Did it work, yes it did. But the sound quality using HFP was not as good using A2DP.

You can change your used codec, by selecting your headphone in the listed Bluetooth devices.
