== Pairing == | |||
Bigger desktop environments will usually provide a bluetooth management system. | |||

< | Alternatively, using <code>pkgs.blueman</code>, it is possible to get a tray icon <code>blueman-applet</code> or use the manager directly using <code>blueman-manager</code>. | ||
=== Pairing without GUI tools === | |||
When not using a desktop-manager, configuring the device from the command line can be done following the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Headset ArchWiki instructions], as follows. | |||

== Bluetooth headsets with PulseAudio == | |||
The package used for PulseAudio has to be <code>pkgs.pulseaudioFull</code>, which includes bluetooth support. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">{ | |||
hardware.pulseaudio = { | |||
enable = true; | |||
package = pkgs.pulseaudioFull; | |||
}; | |||
hardware.bluetooth.enable = true; | |||
}</syntaxhighlight> | |||
{{evaluate}} | |||
Either restart the system for PulseAudio to load the bluetooth module, or restart your local instance of PulseAudio by running <code>pkill ^pulseaudio$</code>. | |||
Ensure PulseAudio has loaded bluetooth modules by using <code>pactl list | grep -i Name.*module.*blue</code>. Bluetooth modules should be present in the list. | |||
=== Managing the audio interface === | |||
Using <code>pavucontrol</code>, the headset profile can be changed to ''"High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)"'' in the ''Configuration'' tab. | |||
The default sink can be changed in the ''Output Devices'' tab. clicking on the right most button, which it title ''Set as fallback''. | |||
==== Managing the audio interface using <code>pacmd</code> ==== | |||
Setting the card to A2DP | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="console"> | |||
$ pacmd set-card-profile "$(pactl list cards short | egrep -o bluez_card[[:alnum:]._]+)" a2dp_sink | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Setting the bluetooth sink as default | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="console"> | |||
$ pacmd set-default-sink "$(pactl list sinks short | egrep -o bluez_sink[[:alnum:]._]+)" | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
