Instead, you can use the volume keys on your Android phone to reduce or increase the volume level accordingly. This likewise applies when adjusting the phone’s media volume using your Bluetooth audio device. So it’s going to be a one volume control.

Absolute Bluetooth volume control is typically enabled by default in many Android phones.

You can always turn this feature off if you think you won’t be bothered with your Bluetooth media or phone rendering the loudest possible sound.
