hello. i noticed that the pixel has their version of music volume control. that is when you turn up your volume on your car radio the volume on your pixel increases also. is there a way to turn this off? so you can have a set volume on your phone and it wont be controlled by turning up your radio.
Go to developer options and turn on "Disable absolute volume"

I am familiar with the "Music, Video, Games, & Other Media," setting within the Volume menu in settings. I have that set to just under max. My issue is that when I listen to music in my car or on my bluetooth headphones the volume almost always starts at the minimum level and I am forced to manually turn it up. It seems to be related to when the phone's ringer is set to vibrate but it has also happened when the ringer is on high. My previous smartphone was an iphone 4 and on that phone the bluetooth music volume had nothing to do with the ringer settings. Part of my frustration is that it's not a consistent problem, occasionally the music volume defaults to what I have it set to in the settings menu. Any help is greatly appreciated.
This may be a weird one, I am aware... BUT:
I connected bluetooth headphones to my S9 for the first time last night, and it was mind-blowingly loud, not in a good way. Even with the volume all the way down, it was almost painful to listen to music at the gym.
Do you guys know of any apps that can make sound quieter or adjust volume to be somewhere between the bottom volume option and the 'volume off' level?
I toggled dolby atmos on and off to see if that made any difference, and when I turned it on it seemed to get a little louder, which I expected. I also went through the audio profile customization, and while the audio sounds great, it's still too loud
Any ideas?
Thanks!.
I may have solved this one on my own, so I'll post the potential solution for anyone who may run into this issue in the future
In developer options, theres a toggle for 'disable absolute volume' - turn this ON.
Some Bluetooth speakers or devices might have issues working with Android’s volume control. Normally, changing the volume on your phone should change the volume of the Bluetooth device. Some devices don’t work with this feature, or have the volume become extremely quiet or super loud.
If you’ve experienced this problem with your devices, try enabling this setting. Otherwise, you should leave it turned off for normal functionality.

That's it. I had the same on my Pixel 2 XL but I kept it set to "Off" because it still gets super quiet too if I need. It could be because the Pixel 2 has 25 volume steps rather than 15
On my note 9 there is also an option without the need of the developer mode:
Go to settings -> bluetooth -> advanced
There should be an option like "media volume sync"
Turn that one off and you can turn down the volume on your headphones separately.
How do I disable volume warning notification? Its annoying and distracting when I have to use it particularly in my car with bluetooth paired. Have to always click on the notification and then increase volume again each time.
There is an Xposed module that disables the warning. But we are still far from having Xposed on the A70 unfortunately.

To get around this I use this app...

Once you set your desired volume level, I.e. Max volume, in the app settings, It automatically raises the Bluetooth volume to max when it connects to car.
The only caveat is that you will still have to manually up the volume passed the safety limit once, after everytime the phone is restarted. Other than that it raises the volume all the way up without having to press a thing.
Then when you disconnect from car Bluetooth it reverts the volume back to where it was....
Brilliant app...
Can anyone tell me why the telephone volume control on Bluetooth is greyed out on my Vodafone Note 10 plus 5g? Connected to the Bluetooth in my car I could do with the volume being higher than it is but the volume buttons on the phone do nothing as slider is greyed out.... Can this be enabled?

Just checked and its already disabled so that didn't work....... Any other ideas?
Cannot see why the volume control would be greyed and only half way. Bluetooth the speakers etc all have a working volume control but not telephone.
I think you have the device to be connected to the phone via Bluetooth for it to not be grayed out and be able to set it up.
After that it'll stay on, but showed greyed when disconnected.

The telephone Bluetooth volume control on the phone is greyed out when the phone is connected to my Mercedes via Bluetooth. Bluetooth telephone works fine in the car but I cannot adjust the volume on the phone as I can with all other Bluetooth devices. The volume slider on the phone is greyed out and set at 50% when connected so cannot increase the Bluetooth volume which I would like to do as the volume is low.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue.
Connections>Bluetooth>Advanced settings
Dual Audio and Media volume sync, try toggling these.
These are known trouble makers that can toggle randomly dating back to at least N9. A recent Wearables update fixed one of these related issues I think.
When in doubt clear system cache in the boot menu.
If nothing else gets it, reset network settings (fairly painless).
I unchecked the "disable absolute volume" and the volume will go low on Sony wf1000mx4 after playing for awhile. I restarted the phone and the same thing happen after awhile. Anyone has the same issues?
There's two volume controls
One on the earphones and one from the phone itself
I generally set the right hold as volume up, set volume max on the earphones, then adjust the phone media volume, had the same issue till I figured it out

Thanks, found the issue. It is YouTube music equalizer which is causing the low volume. Turn it off and everything works perfect.
Since we're on the topic I have had a difficult time boosting the absolute volume level on the P6P. Is it not simply a matter of adjusting audio policy? Any ideas? I want my max volume to be 50-100% higher in all areas, ear, speaker, bluetooth
