I've added a new error report that goes beyond this issue,

There are other interactions with Bluetooth and PulseAudio,
making quite a mess of things.

I tried the suggestion in Comment #74 without any success.
I've tried a lot of combinations of things, discovering a
number of misbehaviors documented there.

My concern is, since this problem has been floating around
for 11 years+ now, it may be that no one is ever going to
fix it. It should at least be made explicit and clear that
headset and earphone such microphones do not work with
Ubuntu; I've wasted a couple of days fighting this, and
now probably need to fall back to a Windows system to use
for Zoom with headset.

Of course, that means Zoom, and phones through the computer
for Customer Relations, and Tech Support, and thousands of
other usages. But at least they should not waste their
time as I have, trying to set it up under Linux/Ubuntu.
