No bluetooh headphone mic on Ubuntu 18.04

 Recently I purchased the  realme Buds Wireless in-Ear Bluetooth  headphone for my work from home setup, when I setup the headphone I found that Ubuntu is not able to detect the headphone mic, after installing APTX, ophone and doing numerous tweaks I;m not able to connect to mic. Then I came to know about its limitation of PulseAudio and there is new audio lib PipeWire which is better than PulseAudio. Follow below steps in order to get you mic back. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream sudo apt update sudo apt install pipewire gstreamer1.0-pipewire libspa-0.2-bluetooth sudo apt install pipewire-audio-client-libraries  sudo touch /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio sudo sed -i 's/.*bluez5.msbc-support.*/    bluez5.msbc-support = true/' /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf sudo sed -i 's/.*bluez5.sbc-xq-support.*/    bluez5.sbc-xq-support = true/' /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf systemctl --user daemon-reload
