I'm having difficulties trying to make my new earbuds work on Ubuntu 20.04. I've followed this tutorial to install pipewire, and the very first time I connected my earbuds everything seemed to work OK. But now, when I connect my earbuds and go to Settings, Audio, I get that the only possible configuration is A2DP - the first time, I had the option to choose HSP/HPF. As a consequence, I cannot use the microphone of my earbuds. I also tried to download the packages listed on the pipewire-debian repository, but still no improvements.
Here is what I see in settings
Inspecting the Bluetooth I get:
