Connecting Google Pixel ear buds via Bluetooth to the Steam link results in Audio being directed to the ear buds, but the Mic doesn't function.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set Audio Device to Bluetooth and enable mic support under Steam Link Audio Menu
  2. Pair Google Pixel ear buds to Steam Link under Bluetooth Menu
  3. Go back to Steam Link Audio Menu
  4. Audio will be playing through the Bluetooth ear buds and the Steam Link Audio Menu will show a microphone attached and working
  5. Attach to the streaming PC
  6. You will still hear audio
  7. Go to the friends chat tab and test the microphone
  8. You won't hear or see any feedback that a microphone is even detected or working despite the Steam Link showing it working prior to connecting

Have you tried changing their configuration in PulseAudio to HFP/HSP?

I'm connecting the Google Ear Buds directly to the steam link. Interfacing with the underlying system isn't possible.
