Hi all,

I have a USB C headset.

I am setting it up, so it’s plugged into my Linux box, so it can listen to music, and make calls, etc from my phone, via bluetooth.

Then I don’t have to keep unplugging my headset and plugging it into my phone.

Also so I can record directly to the Linux machine, that is broadcast from my phone.

But, how can I intercept the Bluetooth audio, and record it?

Thank you.

    That’s exactly right, that is what I’m trying to do. :-)

    I’ve almost got at working, I have pulse audio recording the signal that’s coming to me, I guess via the Bluetooth speaker function. So the phone is treating the computer as a Bluetooth speaker.

    However when I talk, it does not record anything from the microphone going back to the phone.

    So my headset is a USBC, with mic an headphones (speakers).

    The signal coming from the phone to my ears can be recorded.

    But when I talk and speak back to the phone through my headset microphone, it does not record.

    This is the command I am currently trying, but I will dig deeper:

    pw-record --volume=1.0 -P '{ stream.capture.sink=true }' /home/userName/Temp/Test.ogg

      I’m not sure linux noobs is the best place to find the answers you’re looking for, a more technical forum is more likely to have people interested in finding answers to your situation. Regardless, that’s well beyond me unfortunately, I’m not the most technical user 😅

      Good luck! I hope you get it working!

        Thankyou so much, I guess I was hoping there would be some Grand Lord Master of the Bluetooth Linux Audio Channel Recording legend kind of person living here. :-) Stroking their cat, and meditating at the screen whilst levitating in a yoga pose, dispersing waves of confident knowledge into lemmy.

        Maybe that will be me one day :-)

        One can only hope
