==Bluetooth Configuration==

PipeWire can be configured to use specific codecs, by default all codecs and most connection modes are enabled, see [https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/daemon/configuration/bluetooth.html#monitor-properties this link] for precise details of which connections modes are enabled by default. 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.

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:
