    Hi all,

    I've tried it with 3 different pairs of bluetooth headphones but each one are the same on Android 9.

    The volume level is so low and i am unable to raise it to a level where i can actually hear anything.

    I've connected the same headphones to other phones etc not using android 9 and the units are delivering 150% more volume at least.

    I know there was a way to get by this on android 8 but nothing so far on 9, any help ?

    I'm using a Huawei P20 pro.

    Maybe check what AVRCP version is been used in developer options.

    Also toggle disable absolute volume.

    This maybe more of a device issue than android version?

    Try googling your device and Bluetooth issues.

    Basically I changed the Bluetooth Audio codec from ACC (which seems to be the default) to SBC. After this, the max volume dramatically improved.

    Using a custom rom on another device, and it is in developer options under
    "Show Bluetooth devices without names".

    Did you ever resolve this problem with your device?

    Yes

    I changed the audio codec type and that worked.
