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.

Hmm, I have no idea if that actually works (don't think I ever recorded audio) but I think every program that can use the mic input as an audio source should be able to do that, I'd try OBS Studio, Audacity (or whatever the cooler fork is called), screen recorders. Maybe someone who has actually done this can chime in 😸

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. :-)
