PipeWire can be configured to use specific codecs. The mSBC codec provides slightly better sound quality in calls than regular HFP/HSP, while the SBC-XQ provides better sound quality for audio listening. For more information [https://www.guyrutenberg.com/2021/03/11/replacing-pulseaudio-with-pipewire/ see this link].

Wireplumber (<code>services.pipewire.wireplumber</code>) is the default modular session / policy manager for PipeWire in unstable~~, however there is currently no way to configure the advanced settings using the module~~. ~~However, with~~ 24.05 you can use <code>services.pipewire.wireplumber.~~configPackages~~</code> ~~to create drop-in Lua files~~ directly ~~in the expected path (<code>/etc/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d</code>)~~. For example:

Wireplumber (<code>services.pipewire.wireplumber</code>) is the default modular session / policy manager for PipeWire in unstable. To add custom configuration in NixOS 24.05 you can use <code>services.pipewire.wireplumber.extraConfig</code> directly. For example:

<~~syntaxHighlight~~ lang=nix>

services.pipewire.wireplumber.extraConfig."10-bluez.conf" = {

"monitor.bluez.properties" = {

"bluez5.enable-sbc-xq" = true;

"bluez5.enable-msbc" = true;

"bluez5.enable-hw-volume" = true;

"bluez5.headset-roles" = ["hsp_hs" "hsp_ag" "hfp_hf" "hfp_ag"];

};

</syntaxhighlight>

Alternatively you can set <code>services.pipewire.wireplumber.configPackages</code> as well, adding derivations that output wireplumber config files in <code>$out/share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/*.conf</code>:

services.pipewire.wireplumber.configPackages = [

(pkgs.writeTextDir "share/wireplumber/~~bluetooth~~.~~lua~~.d/51-bluez~~-config~~.~~lua~~" ''

(pkgs.writeTextDir "share/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/10-bluez.conf" ''

~~bluez_monitor~~.properties = {

monitor.bluez.properties = {

["bluez5.enable-sbc-xq"] = true,

bluez5.enable-sbc-xq = true

["bluez5.enable-msbc"] = true,

bluez5.enable-msbc = true

["bluez5.enable-hw-volume"] = true,

bluez5.enable-hw-volume = true

["bluez5.headset-roles"] = "[ hsp_hs hsp_ag hfp_hf hfp_ag ]"

bluez5.headset-roles = [hsp_hs hsp_ag hfp_hf hfp_ag]

}

'')

];

</~~syntaxHighlight>~~

</syntaxhighlight>

~~Alternatively you can set <code>services.pipewire.wireplumber.extraLuaConfig</code> as well:~~

~~<syntaxHighlight lang=nix>~~

~~services.pipewire.wireplumber.extraLuaConfig.bluetooth."51-bluez-config" = ''~~

~~bluez_monitor.properties = {~~

~~["bluez5.enable-sbc-xq"] = true,~~

~~["bluez5.enable-msbc"] = true,~~

~~["bluez5.enable-hw-volume"] = true,~~

~~["bluez5.headset-roles"] = "[ hsp_hs hsp_ag hfp_hf hfp_ag ]"~~

}

~~'';~~

~~</syntaxHighlight~~>

It is possible change a particular user instead of system-wide, with adding this to <code>~/.config/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d</code> instead, manually or using Home-Manager.
