The same problem here, "Headset" is not missing. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.

Unfortunately, I can only hear hissing noise in this case for both input and output. I think there is definitely something wrong in how pavucontrol handles this. Also, my headphones were tested with an android phone and were working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576559 Title: Refused to switch profile to headset_head_unit: Not connected Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm trying to connect a bluetooth-speaker-with-microphone (Mi Bluetooth Speaker) to Ubuntu.
