Applications need the pulseadio USE Flag to properly start the pulseaudio service, as the pulseaudio service has not /etc/init.d service. 7. For those still enjoying the use of CLI/curses/ncurses use of alsamixer along side pulseaudio, you need to start alsamixer with "alsamixer -Dhw".

Chromium is also not immune to problem. Both browsers either depend on pulseaudio to set up correct sample rate or in absence of pulseaudio set sample rate to 48000 as defacto standard in sound card world. So if you have 96000 hz sample rate, downgrade it to 48000 and sound will work once again.

There is two protocols for handling microphone input (and button input) from headsets: HSP and HFP. In order for the microphone to work the headset has to switch from the A2DP protocol to HSP/HFP.
