Bluetooth speaker volume unaffected by volume buttons/indicator

  • /e/OS version: 3.1.1
  • Device model: xz2c

The problem

When connected via bluetooth to an external audio speaker, I fail to raise or lower the volume from the speaker using the volume keys. Despite the volume indicator/meter appearing correctly (enhanced with the bluetooth icon), as well as the bar being raised or lowered, the volume out stays unaffected unless I get to zero and the volume is cut off. I have to change the volume manually on the speaker itself.

Technical details

Speaker is Edifier brand, appears as “EDIFIER R1280DB” in Bluetooth paired devices.

The bug is absent when using my MacBook, with which I can lower/increase the volume as desired.
