The default audio codec in Fedora 33 for HSP/HFP is CVSD, which is an 8 kHz
codec. mSBC is a 16 kHz codec. mSBC is disabled by default because it’s not
supported on all Bluetooth input devices. To enable it, edit either
~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf
or
/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf
with the following contents:
properties = {
bluez5.msbc-support = true
}
Then restart the pipewire service with
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
In your system settings for audio, you should now have an mSBC codec available for the HSP/HFP protocol.
