I have an mpow M5 bluetooth earbuds. They work flawlessly on my Oneplus 6 android device, using Android 10. But when I connect to my notebook using ubuntu 18.04 and open audio settings it won't recognize my bluetooth earbuds microphone. I tried installing blueman and pairing the earbuds from there but no success either. What am I missing?

After a lot of research and bumping my head, I decided to try out a bluetooth dongle, and manage to get it working. here's what I did:
I bought an Orico 5.0 bluetooth dongle.
list usb devices using lsusb command. In my case I found this:
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0bda:8771 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Bluetooth Radio
download xmpow bluetooth BH519A dongle drivers from this site. Apparently their dongle uses the same firmware as Orico's.
install it and reboot your computer, then you are good to go
