when connecting any "STEREO" headset i can't raise or lower volyme, it's always at max regardless of volyme onscreen.
probably this is due to new bluetooth drivers and hardware.
But if anyone got the same problem or solution plese post it..

Woo. U got the Rhodium too??
To answer your question, it's a well known issue w/ Broadcom stack. And there could poping sound issue as well if you have multiple program sending sound together (e.g. A2DP w/ coreplayer + Voice prompt w/ GPS program) <== Can you verify this.
I don't have Rhodium (maybe yet) but my Asus P525 w/ broadcom stack has this problem. Never heard any solution so far.
a2dp
yes, I can confirm the same problem: with A2DP the side keys do not work for volume setting (they set the system volume which is not coupled to the BT volume when having the WidComm stack).
the workaround is to have a media player with separated volume setting like CorePlayer, which works pretty fine for me
that aint the problem, the problem is that every time i connect the stereo headset it sets the volyme to max and i cant lower the volyme by any meens. (yes ive tried about 5 different brands of headsets)
BT vol
what do you mean by "any means" - which controls did you try? the sidekeys will definitely not work, as I stated above. only if the player has a separate volume slider, that'll do something.

i tried the hardware keys, htc volyme control and built in control of coreplayer.
coreplayers built in volyme works in 1 out of 3 times, and this is tried right after hardreset.
BT vol
well, CorePlayer volume setting works for me always - no matter if I did hardreset or not (and I'm quite a heavy user with Igo, Exchange MailSync, Opera, etc.). CP version is 1.3.2 build 6909.
(and my headset is SonyE. HBH-IS800)

Unfortunately, some stupid program like TomTom, IGO do not has this option...
BTW, do you folks encounter any "poping", or sound distortion issue when multiple programs (e.g. GPS + Coreplayer) trying to play sound together? It would be a deal breaker to me if it does...
distortion
did not have this scenario yet - I use igo in the car where I have a BT handsfree carkit which does not use A2DP. so igo announces everything on the own TP2 speaker, while calls are on the car radio.

When I use IGO8 and the audiomanager at the same time, the sound works for a while and than stops working. I Have to turn bluetooth of, soft reset and turn everything again. But the same problem happens again. Even trying to use WMP or HTCAlbum to watch videos and listen with a2dp the same problem happens again.
I dont know, but it seems that the bluetooth memory reaches a level and than it stops working. I dont Know. Any Ideas ???
Thanks
I have the same problems. It's really unpleasant !
So, i tried to install Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 and v3.2 to try configurate control volume, but the program doesn't work on my Rhodium...?!?

I'm using the hbh-is800 and experienced the same problem of not being able to control the volume which seemed to always be at max. this was especially frustrating as i quite like the tf3d player, but was forced to use other players with software volume control.
My makeshift fix was to edit the registry for the default volume of the tf3d player.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config
music_player_volumn default = 100
I lowered it to 30 and after a soft reset the volume on my hbh-is800 is now at a comfortable level.
i still can't change the volume on the fly, but a fixed comfortable volume is better than the original fixed max volume.
I just paired a Sony bluetooth headset (HBH-IS800) with my Tilt 2 and the volume is quite loud when listening to music. I put media player sound volume down to 5%, apparently the lowest, and it's still very loud. The only other option at that point is going down to 0%, obviously too quiet :-|
Also, the main system volume slider on the side - no effect on the headset whatsoever. Whether it's maxed out or silent - the bluetooth headset is still too loud.
Does anyone have any recommendations on:
1) How to go between <5% and >0% volume on media player?
2) How to get the main volume control to affect the bluetooth headset volume?
3) Any other ideas on lowering the music volume overall? Maybe another (better?) music player could work? Maybe a reg setting I can modify?
Any advice is appreciated - the headset is so cool - I'd love to make it usable!!! - TIA!
-Fnortner
P.S. - I called Sony - their answer: "We don't support the headset unless it's paired with a Sony phone". Boo Sony!
I have the same problem with this headset.
I had it running on the Touch HD with volume control from the device works perfectly.
Is there any solution yet?
same volume control issue with BT8040
With both Media Player or PocketTunes, I am not able to alter the volume on the BT8040, either from the Tilt2, or the earpiece itself.
Never had this problem with the same earpiece and my original Tilt.
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I have a bluetooth set which I connect to FM transmiter. The problem is: Volume is all the way up so the music is horrible, it gets distorted. I'd like to know how to manage the bluetooth volume in the system settings, is there a way? Pushing the left buttons (system volume) wont affect bluetooth volume, neither any other volume control within the settings. Any help appreciated.
I have found a solution that works for me. I use Nitrogen Player and you can just turn the equalizer on and change the preamp level to close to the bottom. Works a treat for me.
Code:
Options -> Settings -> Equalizer.

If anyone came up with a solution for this that works native to the ROM (vs just adjusting the eq) post it here, and I'll do the same.

I have a stereo BT headset, and whenever I pair it with my (tmo US) TP2, the phone throws up a standard "you have to adjust the volume from the headset, can't do it from the handset" warning...and when I do use the volume controls on the headset, the volume does adjust accordingly, but without any feedback from the phone (no volume slider or other indication), so the adjustment is obviously happening in the headset's circuitry, and the audio coming from the phone is at a static, un-adjustable level.
From the research I've done, the culprit is the sub-par Widcomm bluetooth stack in the phone, and I haven't yet found anyone who has engineered a replacement stack. I know the possibility exists (I upgraded the bluetooth stack on my Wizard a couple of years ago to get one that had the A2DP profile), but I just don't think anybody has made a replacement for this model yet

Thanks for the reply! My situation is backwards in the sense that the headset doesn't have volume controls - and what I seem to be finding is that there doesn't seem to be an immediate fix for controlling a headset from the phone. I did use a tool called "Advanced Config" to find a default music volume that I can change, so I lowered that from 100 to 50 and now the volume is at least comfortable. However I have no control over it yet....
Could these issues be due to USB 2.0 versus USB 2.1 ?
I got a Motorola H17 (USB 2.1) and everything works perfect. Have volumn control from phone and headset and all audio sources work fine.
Oooops. Meant Bluetooth 2.0 vs Bluetooth 2.1.

Yes, for some reason, the BT stack in this phone seems to assume that all BT stereo headsets also have built-in controls on them and won't allow them to adjust system volume. I think we're probably stuck with that fact until somebody finds a BT stack to replace the TP2's native one.
The best workaround for now may be just to find and use a headset that does have volume controls. I'll be posting a review soon of the ones I have now, the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's

So when you play music through it, you can control the volume on the handset itself, and with controls on the headset? If so, I'm guessing it's because that's a monaural (not stereo) headset, so it may not be the same volume. My headset has BT 2.1 on it, and while I can control the playback etc on the phone, the volume controls only adjust the headset volume, not the volume on the phone.

This may be true since it is only monaural. The volume control (on the phone) still controls the phone (thus the headset) while the BT control only controls the BT headset.

Good evening,
If it can help you with tcpmp-0. 72RC1 - GF5500Edition - Alpha4. 1 can adjust the volume of this famous helmet HBH-IS800 and it is easier than with nitrogene.
Good evening
Ichtus
if its is supported by only sony phones(BB storm too) then can we get the profile from a xperia and install it on another device
I have seen multiple people state they can adjust the volume both on their headset and on the handset asystem volume. I thought perhaps it was the BT stack EXCEPT I was able to do this as well before I did a hard reset now I cannot adjust the 2 volume controls independently. The handset volume is static. Will someone that can adjust the system volume with a headset compare settings/egistry entries with me?
Is there a way we can adjust the volume of the line out from the bluetooth connection, anyone, lately ive have noticed that most devices are doing this, dont want to revert to a old stack but there has to be a way to combine the headset volume with the bluetooth volume
Trying to get this thing (Tilt 2) to do just two last things. Is there anyway to get rid of the volume control warning? Is there any way to get it to automatically pair with an A2DP headset?
what volume control warning? go to bluetooth settings and you can pair it..once paired..just turn on your device..and that should be it...unless you turn off BT on your phone
This one, I get it every time I go in and repair the stereo audio portion (it auto connects hands free but thats it).
I got similar warnings and want to know the means to disable it too. I am using a Jabar BT3030. I guess the WM expects to control the volume from the mobile phone, which the BT headset does not support it. The headphone has volume control buttons instead.
Anyway to increase the car Bluetooth volume? Pixel XL is way too soft compare with all my previous phone. Thanks.

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:

This is not working. Hopefully the update will resolve this.
Hello there fellow Xiaomi users, I have a problem with my Bluetooth earbuds and it's driving me insane! I hope you can help me out. When I connected my newly purchased bluetooth sony earbuds (the model is WF-XB700) I noticed that the volume was really low, maybe 50% less than it should've been. I was perplexed, but had a couple of quick ways to determine the problem. I connected the earplugs to a Iphone 8 and they worked just fine, 100% of their capacity. Then I connected my Xiaomi Mi 2A lite to some other bluetooth headphones (model Pioneer se-ms7bt) and they also worked as they should've. Then I connected the earbuds to a Xiaomi Mi A3 and to my surprise, I could also detect the Low Volume Issue there too! So, it must be something Android/Xiaomi related.
Then I went on a really energy draining odyssey on google to find a solution. What I did find was, firsty, that it was a known issue and secondly, that the myriad of solutions presented did not help me at all. This is a list of the things I tried, some of which spawned problems too :
1) Disabling absolute volume in developer settings.
2) Tinkering with all the options in the develper option - even the following (I will copy paste in from an other thread , which according to many people has worked :
Enable Developer Options (options -> system -> about phone -> click build number 7 times)
Press back
Go to settings, and search AVRCP.
Click on Bluetooth AVRCP Version and ensure it is on 1.6.
Next, search for Absolute
Select Disable Absolute Volume and turn this toggle on, if it isn't already.
Unpair all Bluetooth devices. Restart your device. Pair the devices again. To the right of each Paired Bluetooth device in the Bluetooth settings page is a gear icon, go into each device and turn off the Phone Calls toggle, leaving only Media audio enabled.
Exit settings, connect to the Bluetooth device, start playing something. Increase the volume using the volume up button and rejoice as the volume goes as loud as you need!!!
3) Putting the volume up in the Sony Headphones app. - So, officially the app doesn't support the WF-XB700. There are two options for detection. The first is a list of the supported devices (mine is not there) and the other is a ,,detect via bluetooth''. Tried the second option but it doesn't work
4) Increasing the volume on the physical buttons on the device. Mine are earbuds and have only one button for on/off
5) Ensuring the eartips are tightly fit in my ear.
6) Making sure the earbud isn't blocked by anything.
7) Resetting the phone
8) Changing the Region - This I actually did not succeed in doing. It turns out that the option to change the region has been removed. If there is a way to do it, please inform me.
9) Trying all the volume booster apps in the store.
10) Restart or enable and disable airplane mode
11) Forgeting and pairing the device again
Could the bluetooth version difference be the problem. Mine is 4.2 and the buds are 5.0. According to google there should't be a difference regarding the sound volume/quality, only range and connection strenght. Please help me, I have wasted more than five hours already and I ran out of options to try. Thanks in advance !

Xiaomi removes Bluetooth codecs intentionally from this phone (and seems like from Mi A3 too). Because Xiaomi dont want to pay 1$ fee for codec. Thats why it works as expected on iPhone. It's all about greediness.
Same codec issue is proper on Miui roms too. This means Redmi 6 Pro has an Bluetooth codec issue too. We can probably say same thing (according to ur first post) for Mi A3 and for its Miui version Xiaomi Mi CC9e.
- Redmi 6 Pro
- Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
- Xiaomi Mi A3
- Xiaomi Mi CC9e
All of them probably has same issue. I didnt use any flagship of Xiaomi or any other Android phone since Jelly Bean so cant say anything about other brands except Apple. I used an iPhone between those times. iPhones has proper bluetooth codecs. You cant fix it via resetting ur phone or something like that.
SBC is the default codec and none of others will work.
Qualcomm is the owner of these aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive audio codecs. We have an qualcomm chipset on our phone too but xiaomi didnt want to pay for these to earn more money from us. So thats why we are stuck on SBC. Dont buy any android device just by looking its specs from websites. Check out everything in the shop (bluetooth, camera,..etc.) before buy.
