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.

This is not working. Hopefully the update will resolve this.
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?

Nope
Using the headset for the first time and I can see a notable sound reduction compared to gaming with a mi mix 3 5g I had before. I dont have a second wired headset to compare.
Any idea what could be going wrong? I have ultra sound enabled in-game. I also downgraded from that and the issue remains.
Comparing with Razer Hammerhead True Wireless I have, the sound is really loud on the second , so something is definately going on with the first headset interaction with the game.
Listening to music or doing anything else seems the same as before so the possibility of headset malfunction is out of the table.

Yes done already. Still the same.
The only difference I can find from my previous xiaomi Device is the addition of 24-bit/192kHz audio. Thats for wired Audio?
Me too facing this problem, when i use in ear earphones like i have jbl, the sound output is loud and clear, but when i switch to hyperx cloud stinger headphones, the sound output becomes very low, this case happens only in games, music youtube etc. have loud sound output, if anybody knows the solution of this problem please tell us.
Oops Wrong thread.
Wrong thread why? Wrong Device?
But really hoping I can find a solution. Even if I sell my headset how can I be sure the new one I will get will perform as it should?
have you tried to remove "improoved audio" from the turbo videogames settings? have you tried using a pair of in ears. if the in ears are at "high volume both in games and not. the problem resides in the internal amplifier. you can buy a more powerful cabled or bt adapter to solve the problem

I have turbo turned off. Should I turn it on? Also my brother has some other jbl over ear wired headphones. Going not to check if the Audio is the same with those and coming right back here.
Out of curiosity i've tried a few pair of headphones with the adapter. The phone had enough volume to drive a pair of Beats (32 ohm) at 60% and a pair of dt990pro (250 ohm) at max volume. Id doubt the problema comes from the headphones used. Try to check under soud assistant if you have the "mixer" enabled or disabled. Maybe you've lowered the volume of that single app

I opened sound assistant, it has 3 options and the third is turned on, the first two are turned off. One is for playing sound through multiple apps and the second for multiple sound sources.
First, I apologize I'm posting in this forum regarding Xiaomi 11T, but there are no similar cases in it's forum.
So I recently bought Xiaomi 11T, about a month ago, and the volume on my true wireless earbuds is extremely low compared to my older phone (Xiaomi Mi A1), which was running on Android 9. Same is the case when I use earbuds with laptop (and the laptop has a much older Bluetooth version 4.2, I guess). So I looked it up and did find a possible solution but the phone had to be factory reset to solve through that solution, which I don't want to do because it's frustrating doing it all again. *I tried solving (linked below) this by following the steps except the resetting one, but it did not solve this issue. *I have already tried changing the region. I'm in Pakistan, so I changed it to US, India and also restarted and re-paired the earbuds, but it still didn't solve.
So is there any way that I can solve the low volume issue without resetting the phone?
DO NOTE that "Disable absolute volume" option in developer options is TURNED OFF.
Solution which requires resetting the phone
I copy-pasted this from my post in Xiaomi 11T Pro forum, but found no solutions.
So please let me know if any of you know any solutions to this issue.
I'm not an expert, but I remember some things of time ago:
1. EU rom has some limitations for earphones volume due to European regulations, so you would need to change the region or even the rom if this is your case.
2. Disable "absolute volume" in your paired Bluetooth device (your TWS), I know you have disabled it in developer options, but look for that same option in the paired device section.
3. Enable MI Sound Enhancer and try with the different options. It always helps me to improve the audio.
Please share your results, if this doesn't work, I will look for my earbuds and try to remember what I did to fix that.
Add: Also, if your earbuds have integrated volume control buttons, check if the volume control is "synchronized" with the phone, first time I use my earbuds in my Poco F3, the volume of the earbuds and the phone was independent.
Add 2: I take a look at my earphones, if you disabled absolute volume, you need to turn up the volume directly from your earphones. I have enabled absolute volume because of that.
Hi. Thank you for the reply.
1 ) I have tried changing the region and it still was the same.
2) I don't have the option for disabling "Disable Absolute volume" in Bluetooth section paired device section, nor in the advanced settings, as shown in the screenshot below.
3) Mi Sound section is grayed out for me, even when the earbuds are connected.
I did notice that earbuds and phone are not synchronized. Volume of earbuds is adjusted separately to the volume of the phone. So how do I sync them? Please let me know.

Hi,
To synchronize the volume of both devices, just enable absolute volume again, we already know that's not the problem, so do it.
MI 11T has atmos right? Change sound preset to video and try with the next set up in atmos settings.
Also, you can try disabling "sound enhancement" from game booster options.
If you have enabled absolute volume again, changed the preset to video, tried the setup in atmos settings, disabled the sound enhancement from game turbo, and the issue is not fixed, I can't help you, but I will be pretty sure that the problem will be the earbuds.
Edit: You could play with the sound codecs of developer settings as last resource.

I enabled "Disable Absolute volume" as you said, and set the preset to Video as well. And this is as close as I could get with the equalizer settings (they're horrible to set). And there is a positive difference than before. But it still isn't as loud as before or with other devices.
And I couldn't find any "sound enhancements" in Game Turbo.
There is no option of Media Volume sync, as it is in Samsung. I tried looking it up and it said that it is now built-in Android 10 onwards? I don't know.
But I tried the earbuds with laptop, and they're so much better, just like before. And I change the Bluetooth codec to AAC, but it automatically reverts back to SBC. I don't know anything about audio or codecs. So any guesses

I think this option (Adjust sound to earphones) might help, since it looks like media sync option. But I don't know why Mi Sound is grayed out.

First, please resize the images you attached in the comments, are huge.
The "enhanced audio" option is in "Performance mode".
Now I remember MI Sound Option is only available for wire earphones.
Even if disabling Enhanced Audio from Gameturbo don't fix the issue , keep it disabled. If it is enabled, when you start some game or app that use game turbo, the sound turns to sht.
The absolute volume feature must be enabled to sync the volume of both devices.
Honestly, I have no idea what else could you try; well, yes, some equalizers have the option to artificially increase the volume, maybe that could solve the problem in some way.
In my experience, the loudness enhancer of Equalizer FX works very well.
If FX doesn't work, try the app "Boom" by GlobalDelight, It has a free trial, imo is the best app for music (super recommended for windows too), and when I use it, my head explodes if I turn up full volume.

Sorry for the huge images. I new to posting threads, so I don't have much experience or etiquettes of threads.
I have turned off Enhanced audio and turned on "Disable Absolute volume", and still audio is not synced. And just increasing the volume isn't my goal. Rather I want it to work properly, as intended.
Anyways, do you think that the solution that I have linked in the original post, would work?

Disable Absolute Volume has to be turned off, not on, I mean, you need to have absolute volume enabled.
Try with FX loudness enhancement, could work.
Idk if the post solution will work, but I think you need to try.
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?
