I have a bluetooth headset (WH-CH700N). I'm having trouble setting it up on Ubuntu 20.04. It appears as connected in the bluetooth settings, but the headset doesn't play the "Bluetooth connected" sound when that happens, so I'm not sure if the connection is correct. If I open the device in bluetooth settings, it shows Type: Unknown
.
This is what I see if I do 'info ' on bluetoothctl:

All the other similar questions I found recommended looking at PulseAudio for following issues since the connection "appears" correct, so I looked at that a bit.
I don't see it in PulseAudio in the dropdown list of output devices. I found questions with similar issues (like this), and a lot of them recommend checking/updating the loaded modules. I tried following the advice, but none of it worked. The relevant modules appear in the list if I run pactl list short
:
module-bluetooth-policy
module-bluetooth-discover
module-bluez5-discover
What can I do?
