I don't know much of anything about Android systems, so I'm hoping someone can help me here. I use a FiiO M7 as my main music player, and primarily I use my AirPods with it. When I first paired them, I noticed the volume level was very low, even at the maximum setting. After some googling, I enabled developer options, and set the Disable Absolute Volume setting to ON. That fixed the problem, and it's been fine until about a week ago, when it suddenly reverted back to the quieter volume levels. It might worth mentioning that I regularly switch the AirPods between my iPhone and the FiiO, but again, until now this has gone without issue.
I've now unpaired, forgotten, re-paired, restarted the device, switched that setting off and on several times (and all of these in every possible order), and done a complete factory reset, and the low volume persists. I'm wondering what else I could try to get this fixed.
I've read that the Android OS this device runs on is a very pared down version: it says
Kernel version 3.18.14-user-g3a4465b-dirty
FiiO@asc #112
Build number 1.0.2
Is there something I'm missing here?Is there a VERY specific order I need to be following these steps in that I'm somehow failing?
