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.

Thank you so much, yes I have tried prtty much everything you have mentioned there.

If the phone is say playing music or something like that then my computer can record the phone. but it can't hear me talking into the mic, even though I want it to.

If I am on a phone call, then I can only record myself, and it can't record the person speaking.

Depending on what I am doing, it won't record the microphone or speaker.

Of course, I wanted to record both. :-)
