Anyone here have a new 9? I wanted to listen to some music on my Pixel Buds Pro 1s and noticed the volume was quite low.

Looked around at various settings, but nothing weird. Swapping to my 8 and I get normal volume. Switching back, low again.

    Sometimes I get a thing where my bt audio doesn’t connect properly and the audio controls like volume aren’t properly synced between my devices.

    E.g. turning the volume up on my phone is like a seperate volume and then I can also turn up my headset on it’s own controls.

    This is a legacy support thing. You can force the unsynced mode in developer settings.

    When my devices are connected properly the volumes are synced together as one control.

    Usually turning the headset off and on again is the quickest fix.

    Fwiw I have a p7.

      I had that with my bt speaker. What helped is to get both devices to 100% when the music is playing. That guaranteed that both devices were on their actual maximum

      I did go into developer settings last night and disabled the audio sync. “Disable absolute volume” and that didn’t seem to change anything. (I did not try to raise the volume on my buds after I was at max on phone though)

      I’ve never noticed this ‘issue’ before. However I realize I did just copy a bunch of crap to this phone, install updates, etc… I’m also having some weird tasker behavior where it is randomly crashing. That was actually the driver of the reboot this morning as I had updated/toggled some permissions that didn’t seem to be sticking.

        You actually don’t want to use the flag. So it should have reinforced the unwanted behavior.

          I only toggled it and saw no difference so I turned it back off. So far, the morning reboot fixed it, but I’ll be monitoring it closely. I use my headphones a lot. Also Not sure how to turn ‘off’ the pixel buds. I’m sure there’s a way to reboot them I’d just need to search.
