Razer Barracuda x bluetouth connection and microphone very low

Hi,
I can not get my Barracuda to appear when i try to pair it using bluetooth.
From what I read here: https://www.razer.com/gaming-headsets/razer-barracuda-x this is something it is capable to do.
Maybe I am misunderstanding something and bluetooth is referring to the usb dongle connection, which I have been using since I bought the headset.

The reason I am now trying to connect without the dongle is that the microphone works very poorly on my laptop with Fedora 42 OS. There is not problem when I connect with jack cable, but when I connect with the dongle it struggles to pick up my voice.
I have tested that the laptop is indeed trying to pick up sound with the headset microphone and not using the internal microphone, since it picks up my voice, but only sometimes and there is no difference in quality when I walk around the room and when I am directly in front of the internal microphones. There are no other microphones it can connect to.
I have tried both usb-c ports and both usb-a ports using the usb-a to usb-c cable.
It works fine on my windows laptop and on my phone.

Hi ​@Gedomi,

Let me check on your headset. Can you send me a PM with the serial number so I can verify it in our system and check the specifications of your headset?
