Bluetooth audio controls not working - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I have a pair of Sony MDR-1000X and the audio controls don't seem to work. The headset seems to have its own separate volume which means I have to turn my headphones up as well as my phone to make music loud. When I connect it to my MacBook, it just adjusts the MacBook's volume.

That's weird... I have the WH-1000XM2 (successor to your model) and mine work fine. When I swipe up on my headphones it increases the volume on my phone (I see the slider).
Try re-pairing the headphones. If that doesn't work, make sure you have all of the bluetooth options enabled for the headphones and check if that solves your issue.

Tried that as well as factory resetting the headphones with no luck. Sigh. What are your Bluetooth settings in the developer settings? Would you mind taking a screenshot?

This may be a dumb question, but did you try turning up the volume on the phone? I know my phone likes to reset the volume to really low when my car connects sometimes. After I turn the volume back up on the phone it's plenty loud in my car stereo.
Failing that, there's a "Disable absolute Volume" option for Bluetooth audio in developer options you could try.
This happens to me when I have connected to my bluetooth headphones and turned the volume down. When I connect again in the car the volume stays at what the headphones were at and I have to turn the volume up on the phone. After that it sticks until I use my headphones again.

Ok let me try option. Thanks.
Headsets tend to control the bt volume on the phone. Cars often have their own volume and don't send volume commands to the phone.

I agree, I've found myself turning the car volume up 3-4 more turns than I used to. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable.
I've noticed the same thing on my Pixel XL while on bluetooth in my car but I'm also using the new Android Auto app as well.
Yesterday i noticed that while driving home from work i had low volume on my music (Car radio & phone were max volume) but while using Google Play music it went to a commercial (Don't pay for it) and started went very loud. After the commercial was over it went back to low volume?
Does this remind anyone of the TV commercial having loud volume issue to get your attention?
Can anyone confirm my suspicion?
Bluetooth gain/volume has always been an issue for me.
I make a lot of DIY portable bluetooth speakers as a hobby and BT input volume is a huge issue compared vs. analog input.
I finally found a Chinese BT amplifer manufacturer who was willing to mod their amp's BT input with higher gain. This helped considerably.
My old JVC car stereo was awful. I was always having to boost the BT output gain.
My 2015 Kia Optima's Infinity stereo doesn't have the same issue. BT volume is fine.
If you are willing to root and try a mod on your phone, the Viper4Android mod lets you raise Bluetooth gain:

Hope this helps.

Won't auto connect to JBL speaker

I have Pixel 3 XL and this one bluetooth speaker, a JBL charge, won't auto connect to it. I have bluetooth on and when I go to the car it connects no problem. But the JBL it wont. I have to go into bluetooth settings, click paired devices, and click the JBL to pair it every time. Really annoying. Suggestions?

In BT settings under the device details of your JBL speaker which options do you have available? For testing I would turn all of them off (phone calls, contact sharing) except media audio. If you have HD audio available, you may try alternating between media audio and HD audio.

Exactly which model are you using eg. charge 3 or charge 4? Have you tried resetting the bt speaker? Are you using any other bt devices that may be conflicting, like a watch? If all this fails try downloading this app called BT Auto Connect. It's not regularly maintained but still works for me.
I have the same issue (years later, apparently). I have a JBL Flip and Flip 5 and neither will autoconnect to my macbook. I think, it might be an issue on my end since the same goes for my Marshall Killburn. Anyone with a similar problem?
Any help is appreciated.

Low volume using Bluetooth or headphones jack in

Who is also facing low volume when using Bluetooth speakers or headphones? When I crank it up to the max it sounds like it's operating at maybe 60% or so. It also happens when I use wired headphones.
I'm using Xiaomi.eu ROM 12.0.7.0.

Yeah I'm getting the same problem with my Haylou GT1 Pros. On my old phone they were much bassier and louder at full volume to the point where I'd have them at 80% max, but now 100% doesn't sound anywhere near as loud. The way I get around this is using Volume Booster GOODEV (available on the Play Store). 11% is enough for me. Be careful not to blow your speakers!

In developer settings there's an option to "disable absolute volume" for Bluetooth. Try that.

That and check through/play with all the sound settings including the buried ones.
Find it... if you do a hard reset it will most likely just crop up again.

Audio issues because of settings misconfiguration is a common Samsung issue.
Fun times... and bad sound.

i was facing same problem while using GT1 pro with POCO X3. go to settings and there is a disable absolute volume in developers mode. turn off this option and boom. ur GT1 pro is on its full volume.
You need to go into volume adjustment(after you plug in the headphones" and pick the other preset, over 60...that fixes it

Question Bluetooth audio doesn't work properly when connected to car audio

For reason Bluetooth audio doesn't work properly when I'm connecting it to car Bluetooth. However it works fine with headsets. I tried different cars by different brands and the issue stays. Please help.
No issue here. What is the issue ? Calls or music?

Music. The audio sounds muffled. Was using OP6T before and it works perfectly. Issue happens only in iqoo9Pro
sounds like an issue with the BT codecs. Jump into Developer mode and play with the BT settings.
See screenshot attached.

Question LDAC support

Trying to enable LDAC codec while using my WH-1000XM4 headphones.
But there are only SBC and AAC available.
Headphones connects via AAC by default.
So I've tried going to Developer options and change codec to LDAC there, but after choosing it resets back to the previous value.
Can only switch between 2.
Any options to enable LDAC for POCO F3?
Try to install Sony Headphones app and change your Sound Quality Mode to Priority on Sound Quality.

I have both Music Center and Headphones apps set as 'Priority on Sound Quality' and also 'Prioritize LDAC' is checked, anyway, I see headphones are connected via AAC in Bluetooth settings.
