Apple Voice Dictation won't work with Bluetooth headset.

My Bluetooth headset it set under system preferences to both input and output and these work.

Whenever I start to use the dictation function on my mac it goes back to using the inbuilt mic! When I stop using dictation, it goes back to my headset!

How can I use my headset for dictation?

Logic Pro X audio track provides "No Input" when bluetooth headset's mic is selected in preferences I'm trying to record audio in Logic Pro X from my bluetooth headset's microphone. After selecting the headset in Preferences > Audio > Devices, the audio track provides no input options. However, if I select Built-in Microphone in Preferences > Audio > Devices, the audio track provides Input 1 and Input 2 as selectable options, either of which enables my Mac's mic as the input. Is there some reason Logic will not enable my bluetooth headset's mic as input for an audio track?

Bluetooth microphone no voice My PAMU Quite cannot record any voices after updated to 14.3. It works fine during listening to music. I checked all the privacy settings and granted all required permission. This is very inconvenient for me I cannot use my Bluetooth bus for voice calls. The earbuds work perfectly when connecting to my 2015 MacBook Pro.
