Xbox Wireless Headset on Ubuntu

If the Xbox headset (bluetooth) constantly disconnects/reconnects.

Follow the steps described here : https://github.com/pipewire-debian/pipewire-debian/wiki to install PipeWire.

And configure the Sound settings as below.

When playing music (just headset output needed, good output quality), set :

• output 
• device "Portable - Xbox Wireless Headset"
• configuration "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)"
• input
• device "Microphone - Built-in Audio"

When meeting (headset output and headset mic needed, but very bad output quality), set :

• output 
• device "Portable - Xbox Wireless Headset"
• configuration "Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec mSBC)"
• input
• device "Portable - Xbox Wireless Headset"
• configuration "Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec mSBC)"

As we can see, we must switch manually, depending on if 

• we want to enable the mic (with a bad output quality) for a meeting
• or if we want to mainly listen music (better output quality).

We cannot use A2DP (good output quality) with the mic enabled.

Why we cannot use A2DP when mic is enabled ?

The workaround is to create a script to switch easily between A2DP<->mSBC (music or meeting):
