Missing bluetooth codecs on pipewire

Project Discussion

#1

I’ve been able to restore pulseaudio on Fedora 35. After doing that, I noticed that my bluetooth headset displays a lot more options for codecs:

Pulseaudio output codecs
Pulseaudio output codecs866×657 72.2 KB

Although it doesn’t display it for microphone:

If I use pipewire, I can select the microphone, but I have way less options for codecs:

Pipewire input options

How can I get full codecs support using Pipewire?

These are my Silverblue deployments, so you can see the one with pulseaudio and the one with pipewire:
