No. Using the microphone on a Bluetooth headset forces it in to HSP mode due to bandwidth constraints

So if HSP mode is a thing on every Bluetooth headset, is there no way to trigger it on Steam Deck?

No, it’s working as designed. The 3.5mm Jack also can’t sense if there’s a microphone plugged in with the headphones and just assumes there is, completely disabling the onboard microphone. Which is super annoying if you’re trying to use a pair of sennheisers or something lol. Also by design according to valve engineers

Yeah in the case of the 3.5mm jack it disables the onboard mic, but still lets you use the mic on your headphones, if they have one.
Looking into Bluetooth headsets, it appears that Valve has disabled them. I tried following the guide here but that ended up disabling all output sources entirely for some reason…
