Disable absolute volume in your Android device

Android has a built-in feature that increases the volume of your Bluetooth headphones each time you increase your device’s volume. This sometimes makes the headphones too loud, even if they are on the lowest settings.

You can turn this feature to reduce the volume of each device independently. To do this, follow these steps:

• Launch “Settings” and then select “About Phone”
• Scroll down and tap on “Build Number” 7 times. You will get a message saying ” You are now a developer!”
• Go back to “Settings” then “Systems” and tap on “Advanced.”
• Select “Developer Options”
• Toggle on “Absolute Volume”

Now, when you adjust the volume of your Android device, it will not affect the volume of your Bluetooth headphones.

Update your Bluetooth headphones’ firmware

This is another easy way to make your Bluetooth headphones quieter on the lowest setting. Manufacturers will often release firmware updates that include bug fixes and/or enhancements to improve the user experience.

To check for firmware updates, follow these steps:

• Open “Settings” on your Bluetooth headphones
• Select “General Settings” or “Update.”
• If there is an update available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

Reboot your device

A simple reboot of your device can sometimes fix issues with Bluetooth headphones that are causing them to be too loud on the lowest setting. Just shut down your device and then turn it back on. Try reducing the volume and see if that helps.

Rollback or update the audio driver of your PC

Sometimes, the audio driver of your PC can be the root of the problem. If you have issues with Bluetooth headphones being too loud on the lowest setting, try updating or rolling back your audio driver.

To do this, follow these steps:

• Open “Device Manager” on your PC
• Right-click on “Audio Inputs and Outputs” and select “Update Driver Software.”

• If you want to roll back your driver, right-click on “Audio Inputs and Outputs” and select “Properties.”
• Select the “Driver” tab and then click on “Roll Back Driver.”
