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.

I have searched here and the Google, with no joy.
I was browsing DEVELOPER OPTIONS and ran across a setting, that I do not know if ON or OFF is best.
SETTINGS > DEVELOPER OPTIONS > NETWORKING > DISABLE BLUETOOTH A2DP HARDWARE OFFLOAD
I am unsure which was default and could not find the benefits of either selection.
Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

According to this article the default is off, but it does not say what the purpose of the toggle is.

Thanks! At least this confirms what I thought.
I think I inadvertently turned it on, while scrolling. I believe that's why I noticed it, in the first place, because the switch was blue and obvious.
Did you ever figure out what the purpose of the toggle is?
I looked at this a while ago https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78362981&postcount=10
Different manufacturers/Models of phones have it disabled or it resets when the phone starts. This could be to do with them implementing their own audio processor (DAC/Chip/etc) for processing the audio. It has no effect when changed according to anyone that's bothered to trying it.
Thanks for the update.
It will affect gapless playback on GPM (dont know about other services) with Bluetooth headphones ( dont know why)
enabling this feature helped me fix a low volume problem on a Bluedio T6 bluetooth headphones.
I want to know exactly what this is too. I only know that it makes music track transitions on GPM gappless. I found that suggestion on Reddit when I was trying to listen to Dark Side of the Moon and the damn gaps kept ruining my chill. :laugh:
I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 running Derpfest (android 9 pie) rom.I toggled it off and it asked me to restart my phone.So I did and now it's greyed out.Plus I noticed a slight difference in audio quality while using my BT earphones.Any way of turning it back on or I'll have to live with the consequences?
Yeah at the bottom of dev settings you can reset all to default.

This happened to me too. To fix this, in the developer settings menu, toggle Developer Options off then without leaving that screen, toggle it back on again. Scroll down and you should be able to toggle that setting off.
Worked for me on my LG V-40

When disabling it you have to restart your phone and of the feature is working it will remain off and your headphones will work
google voice stopped to work when i turned on this option.
most of you are toggling an option without knowing what it does.
Shouldn't be better understanding exactly what it's for ?
Don't toggle it on, here's why...
How to Disable Bluetooth A2DP Hardware Offload - Steps
In this article, we explain how to disable Bluetooth A2DP Hardware Offload with step by step instructions for Android devices and smartphones.
www.google.com
I'd like to maximize the audio quality for my ear buds but the settings won't stick-- they can be changed on the Developers options page but they don't stick. For instance- if I select aptX as the bt audio codec it displays aptX but the phone reverts to the default SBC. Same goes for sample rate, bits per sample and and LDAC playback quality. The options are there but you can't force the phone to use them... Does it require the phone be rooted to make these settings work?
The earbuds you are using should support all the codecs.
Else it will revert back to default which is SBC even if you force it in developer settings.
Thanks very much for the reply. These are the new Ear buds plus so the problem lies with them not the phone. Much appreciated Kiran-Kumar.

I remember reading somewhere that the buds support aac and scalable codecs additionally apart from the default one...Did you try choosing them in the dev options?
Also check under bluetooth settings against the paired device( buds in your case ), click on the setting icon at the right corner and see if there are some settings to be enabled.
They do support aac and scalable. I set it to scalable, where I've done most of my testing. Can't hear any difference between that and aac so far- it's kind of subtle. The buds are good but I know they can be a lot better. Appreciate the help.
Hi you guys, how's everybody?
Tried everything: updating the AirPods firmware with a new iPhone (connected both to chargers, AirPods connected to iPhone and all), nothing yet :?
With iPhone, the volume is great. With Xiaomi, the voice messages, music -volume is very very low, although all is on MAX volume.. Tried changing region, tried allowing AAC and disabling dual volume from dev setting.
Does anybody have a fix?
IMUI 11
Same problem with my redmi note 8 pro.
Tried all the things mentioned but didn t work for me
Miui 11 stable
Install Poweramp (don't enable MusicFX , unless you have ViPER4Android)
go to equalizer and adjust according to your preferance
if it still the same then your AirPods are fake ...
Try this; go to developer options and "Disable absolute volume" / Enable.

Thank you, tried this. Still the same
Ideas?
Same here! Someone has any suggestion to solve this? Thank you.
Hey, I have A redmi/xiaomi - on my side, I disabled the Bluetooth A2DP hardware (available on the "Developer options") and it worked really well
Hello everyone.
Since 2 months I know have this "strange" phenomenon that when I connect my Realme 6 Pro to my Bluetooth sound device of my choice, for the first few times connecting there are only popping/cracking noise sounds coming out. No music or anything relatable. After connecting around 5-10 times, it finally will play music (also it suddenly goes back to the cracking state when clicking around in youtube).
Bonus: most of the time (even if connected right and playing music) the microphone wont work in calls.
I cant fix this sh*t and it really bothers me a lot lately.
Hopefully someone can help, or else I´m going to throw this phone into the trash can... xD
Greetings.
My BT works fine for the most part, but sometimes it breaks up. I am really hoping it's just a software issue
Me too, for about 2 or 3 months now. Wasn't a problem before. Thinking I'll try factory reset soon, see if that fixes it.
Hey! I also have this problem and what i found is, if your Bluetooth audio support Aptx codec, it will enable option "Use High Quality Audio" in your audio bluetooth settings. Try to disable (it will use SBC Codec) and my problem disappear.
But, it really annoying. I already try my bluetooth audio with another phone and it worked fine with Aptx, so i know my bluetooth audio is not my problem. My workaround so far are disable high quality audio, then enable Aptx manually in developer options with AVCRP 1.6
Not sure if my device actually using SBC codec or Aptx after change it manually on developer options
Hi All! I solved problems with Bluetooth by switch off Dolby Atmos!

Hi! I solved problems with Bluetooth by switch off Dolby Atmos!
I have the Samsung Galaxy S20+ and the Bluetooth volume is so low when connected to my external speakers (soundbar & Amazon Echo) that it's useless. I've Googled the problem and tried every suggestion (Disable Absolute Volume in Developer Options, calibrating volume on external device to phone, etc.) but nothing has worked. One suggestion was to turn off the equalizer on the phone, but I only have the option to change the default sound effect, not disable it). For comparative purposes, I have successfully set up Castbox so that I can select a specific podcast on my phone and play it on my Echo without Bluetooth as it's directly connected to my Alexa account. Choose the exact same podcast on my phone or through Pandora and play it on my Echo via Bluetooth, and it's at least half the volume, if not less. Turning up the volume on both devices is a non-starter as it increases background noise and is annoying, not to mention that it's not even the same quality. Does anyone have a working solution? Thanks.

I found the same issue with my S20+, it was the Samsung music app, any other app I use works just fine. Give it a try, I like Jet audio.

Thanks, but it turns out that it's not any particular app. I tried Jet Audio but just like ever other app, Bluetooth audio just plain sucks. Even my desktop and tablet had disgracefully terrible audio on my Echo. I've come to the conclusion that Bluetooth just isn't capable of decent audio transmission.
