So I’ve been messing around with steam remote play. I’ve got 2 older laptops that I’ve got running with steam that streams to both of my kids tvs. Everything works great except today I decided to see if a Bluetooth headset would work for steam/in game voice chat.

When I tried it the laptops are using their built in microphones and unlike on Windows I don’t see an option for the steam streaming microphone. I’m not sure if there is a way to get it to work but if anyone has an idea I would appreciate it.

I’m on Arch btw.

Edit: I didn’t explain myself very well. Trying to have the device running the steam link app have a Bluetooth headset/earbuds connected to it then pass the microphone input to the laptop running steam.

    Sweet I’ll read through it. I am using pipewire instead of pulse. Would that effect it at all?

      You probably still have pulse as well if you’re on Arch. Check your packages and configs to be sure.
