google pixel 3xl running android 9 and lenovo tab 4 running android 8.1 and running latest PA build on both 816 i believe . Beta tester.  low volume seems to be most noticeable over bluetooth. db gains are set to max in volume settings as well as preamp in eq settings. volume needs to be now nearly 1/4 the way up to even hear anything, where as before 1/4 volume was loud.

It is not generally a good idea to run any pre-amp gain controls at maximum, especially if you are not using high-res output where you would get better headroom.

You might be better reducing those gains and increasing your device's final volume control (if it's only at 1/4 now, just turn it up a bit).

I agree, i dont typically put the db gains high like that. I never had to before, was just playing with settings last night and that was the only thing that seemed to make the volume close to the same as it was before. I'm going to download a couple older builds and use same settings as before and see..

restarted my Bluetooth device several times and seems to be ok now.

There are strange things happening around BT ... yesterday I did some experiments with BT protocols LDAC vs SBC and BT settings in the developer options on my S7 Oreo, and suddenly I had a similar effect. I suspected DVC, but that already was off. After some headset disconnects and off/onswitches it worked again.

So it would seem to be a good advice in case of BT -volume issues to repeatedly reboot the BT device.

Can anybody think of an explanation for that ?
