I struggled to adjust the volume on my Bluetooth device until I discovered a simple solution.
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check Bluetooth Connection: Make sure your device is properly connected to the Bluetooth speaker or headphones. Go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and ensure the connection is active and stable.
2. Adjust Volume Settings: Check the volume settings on both your device and the Bluetooth accessory. Ensure that the volume is not muted or set too low on either device.
3. Restart Devices: Sometimes a simple restart can solve the issue. Turn off both your device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn them back on after a few seconds.
4. Forget and Reconnect: If the issue persists, try forgetting the Bluetooth accessory on your device and then reconnecting it. This can sometimes resolve any connectivity issues causing volume control problems.
5. Update Software: Check for any available software updates for both your device and the Bluetooth accessory. Updating to the latest software versions can often fix bugs and improve compatibility.
6. Reset Bluetooth Settings: If all else fails, you can try resetting your device’s Bluetooth settings. This will erase all previous Bluetooth connections, so be prepared to reconnect all your devices.
7. Contact Support: If none of the above steps work, reach out to the manufacturer’s support team for further assistance. They may have specific troubleshooting steps for your device model.

Set Default Audio Device
To set the default audio device on your device, follow these steps:
1. Go to the settings menu on your device.
2. Look for the “Sound” or “Audio” option.
3. Locate the option to set the default audio device.
Once you have found the option, select your preferred audio device as the default. This should resolve any Bluetooth volume control issues you may have been experiencing.
Update and Reinstall Drivers
To resolve the Bluetooth volume control issue, the first step is to update and reinstall your drivers. This can often fix any software-related problems that may be causing the issue.
Update the drivers:
Go to the Device Manager by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting it from the menu. Look for the Bluetooth driver under the “Bluetooth” or “Network adapters” section. Right-click on the driver and select “Update driver.” Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.
Reinstall the drivers:
If updating the drivers doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to reinstall them. To do this, go back to the Device Manager, right-click on the Bluetooth driver, and select “Uninstall device.” Once the driver is uninstalled, restart your computer. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver when you restart.
If updating and reinstalling the drivers doesn’t fix the Bluetooth volume control issue, there may be a hardware problem with the Bluetooth device itself. In this case, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance or consider replacing the device.
Remember to always check for updates regularly to ensure that your drivers are up to date and functioning properly. This can help prevent issues like the Bluetooth volume control problem from occurring in the future.
F.A.Q.
Why cant I control the volume of my Bluetooth speaker from my phone?
You can’t control the volume of your Bluetooth speaker from your phone because the “disable absolute volume” option in developer settings may be toggled on. Restart your phone after turning off this option to regain control over the speaker volume.
Can you control volume with Bluetooth?
You can control the volume with Bluetooth by pressing the volume control button on either the connected phone or Bluetooth device.
Why is my Bluetooth volume control not working PC?
Your Bluetooth volume control on PC may not be working due to issues with the Bluetooth connection or driver. You can try running the Bluetooth troubleshooter to diagnose and fix any connection problems. If that doesn’t work, make sure your Bluetooth speaker volume control is properly set up and try updating the Bluetooth driver on your PC.
Why is my Bluetooth speaker not loud anymore?
Your Bluetooth speaker may not be loud anymore due to a few reasons. First, ensure that both devices have their volume levels turned up. Make sure that your source device is playing music. Try moving the speaker away from any metal objects or electronic devices that could be causing interference. Also, check that there are no devices connected to the audio in port of the speaker.
