No audio output with Bluetooth headset in HSP/HFP profile (mic works, output doesn't)

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

When my Bluetooth headset switches to the Handsfree (HSP/HFP) profile during calls, the microphone works, but I get no sound output.
In contrast, the A2DP profile works fine for playback (music, videos, etc.), but it doesn’t support microphone input, so I can’t use it for calls.
I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting this. Is this a known issue with PipeWire or my specific hardware? What would you recommend checking or trying first?

Distro: Fedora Linux 42 (Workstation Edition)
Kernel: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64
BIOS: 03.09
Device: Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040Series)

I’m still on Fedora 41 (kernel Linux 6.15.10-100.fc41.x86_64) but I’ve been having similar issues from time to time… did you ever figure this out, by any chance?
