Switch bluetooth audio profile on Kubuntu 21.10

When I use my bluetooth headphones with Zoom audio conferencing I want the HFP profile (Handsfree Head Unit) to be enabled so the mic will work.

On Kubuntu 20.04 I could manually switch the profile with

pactl set-card-profile bluez_card.60_AB_D2_45_5D_47 headset_head_unit

On 21.10 that doesn't work any more. Ideally, I would like it to switch automatically. Second choice would be to set it for HFP by default. Third choice would be a command to switch it to HFP.

This is what I get when I connect the headphones:

    pactl list | grep -A2 "bluetooth.codec"
                bluetooth.codec = "sbc"
                device.description = "Bose QC35 II"
                device.string = "60:AB:D2:45:5D:47"

                bluetooth.codec = "sbc"
        Profiles:
                headset_head_unit: Headset Head Unit (HSP) (sinks: 1, sources: 1, priority: 30, available: no)

This is what I get after manually enabling HSP via the volume settings

    pactl list | grep -A2 "bluetooth.codec"
                bluetooth.codec = "mSBC"
                device.intended_roles = "phone"
                device.description = "Bose QC35 II"

                bluetooth.codec = "mSBC"
                device.intended_roles = "phone"
                device.description = "Bose QC35 II"

                bluetooth.codec = "mSBC"
        Profiles:
                headset_head_unit: Headset Head Unit (HSP) (sinks: 1, sources: 1, priority: 30, available: no)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
