I have a big problem with Bluetooth volume control of hands free system in my car. Connection is good but when I have a conversation I can not control volume from my phone. It is set to max and the sound is very distorted. In volume panel in phone appears extra canal with probably microphone icon but it controls nothing. In developer options I found option "turn off bluetooth absolute volume" but checkin it also makes nothing. The situation as I described was in originał global rom and also in new miui.eu rom. My phone is Redmi Note 4 (snapdragon) and my car is Renault Espace 4. Can anyone advice me what shall I do to solve this problem?
(when I paired smartphones of other brands ie. Samsung, Umi, Jiayu everything works fine)
After 2 days:
I've checked this issue with Slim 7 Rom and Resurrection Remix Rom. In both there is no control of bluetooth volume during connection in my car but the volume level in Slim7 Rom was lower, and sound was less distorted. Apps like Bluetooth Volume also did not work.

Hello,
I am encountering a problem when using either cyanogen or miui, when i plug a headset on my phone the volume can't reach the maximum level at about the middle of the volume bar the sound stop growing louder. What can I do ?
Ain't got problems with touchwizz based rom, only CM and MIUI. No problem on speaker either.
So I don't know if many or any other people are having or have had this problem(could be related specifically to my car, but unlikely as you'll see later), but I feel like I've heard others mention it. I've now had this issue on multiple roms, from saurom 7.1 GB to now PA cm10 2.0 with flapps OC kernel.
The problem:
When connected to the car stereo via Bluetooth, I'd lose volume control on the dash and only have its control on the phone.
Why does this suck?
Well having to do this to adjust volume can be very annoying for several reasons, like:
1. Having to grab the phone every time you want to adjust the volume
2. Slower volume increases and decreases
3. Depreciating the phone hardware faster
4. Scaling the volume in much bigger, less precise(sometimes it will be either too loud/soft) increments
5. Potentially much lower overall loudness (depending on where the car's own volume was at when it lost control)
6. Potentially more distortion (raising the phone's volume to max to compensate increases distortion regardless of where car volume is at).
What I soon began to realize is that it happens from certain apps, like Pandora (which is usually my go to), but not for the system standard music app like Apollo (which is why I don't think the problem source is related to my car).
So, the work around I figured out for myself is loading both, pausing Pandora, playing Apollo to get volume control, then holding down the back button to kill Apollo(make sure this is enabled in developer options in phone settings), then Pandora should start playing again all by itself and still have volume control. Haven't tested it yet on other music apps, but I suspect it should work the same.
Hope this helps if anyone else had this problem.

This is my first post so bare with me. I have been wanting to use cm10 but I have the same exact problem. In my 2012 scion xb I have bt audio and use spotify and tune in radio for everything. I was using the same method as you to control volume, but when i used synergy rom for my s3 I had the car controls (dash and steering wheel) back. Although I have to re-link the bt every time I Turn my car off.... didn't have to do that with my tbolt, it stayed lined even after i shut my car on and off. Still love my s3 better though lol
Volume control of Blueooth is HELL on my Sony Z5 Compact.
step 2 is too low and step 3 is too loud (ARGHGHGH)
So i was thinking that maybe i could simply disable volume control and control them seperately ?
eg set the phone to eg 50% and then use the volume control on the speaker (Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 3)
if i plug in the phone using Minijack i can do this - but then its not wireless anymore.
what do to ?
any other solutions to the volume bug ?
PS. Ive tried installing a fine-tune volume app and its kind of messed up - works almost but then it doesn't after all ...

You can override this without doing anything special in the Developer's Options
Ohhhh, the "disable absolute volume" option!
I will try it.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I have experienced this problem years back when I had the Xiaomi Redmi 2 and now, I face the same problem with Xiaomi Redmi 4.
Problem Scenario
==============
The media volume of my phone is set to 50%. I have Dolby Atmos installed and the "Surround Sound" and "Dialog Enhancer" toggles are switched on. I am listening to music through a pair of Sony headphones, Sony MDR-XB450AP EXTRA BASS™ and the volume output is adequately loud and pleasant to hear.
Now, if I turn on the "Volume Leveler" toggle in Dolby Atmos, the output volume becomes very high, enough to damage the hearing. The volume slider is still at 50% position, but still, as if, some kind of enormous gain is applied to the output volume when the volume leveler toggle is turned on. It also happens for the phone speaker. I have to turn down the volume to 10% position to make the loudness of the output volume acceptable.
Any help will be appreciated. Let me know if you need anything else.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
