Wireless headset microphone not working in calls
Check if there's a physical mute button on your headset and unmute it. Then make sure the headset is selected as your microphone input in Sound settings. Disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth if that doesn't work.
Wireless headset mic problems mean the headset isn't set as your input device, the physical mute is on, or Bluetooth is unstable. Setting it as default input and checking mute fixes it in minutes.
