Having the PA volume control open, if I speak into the

regardless of the profile for the headphones, it registers that in the

The volume control is not registering the mic in the headphones, however
on the Input Devices tab, the sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy
Fx) is listed with 'Front Microphone (unplugged)', yet it is showing
microphone activity. I have nothing but speakers plugged into it. Could
the sound card be causing it or be defective, or perhaps PulseAudio
isn't detecting it correctly? I have muted that particular entry.
Also, with the headphones using HSP/HFP, the webcam mic doesn't work on
the test sites. But after switching the profile to A2DP Sink, the mic
then works on the test sites. This may have to be a workaround.
I am not sure if I understand correctly your setup.
Headphones are not to be used with HSP/HFP if they do not have a mic (if
they are not a headset). In the case it is only headphones you should use
A2DP with Sync (bluetooth)
The Mic of your webcam would be then a Source.
You need pulseaudio-module-bluetooth installed (check).
You need pulseaudio set correctly
Check
pacmd list-sink-inputs
pacmd list-source-outputs
might be you have to set input/output manually
