This has been bothering me for a long time. I always have the volume for my alarms, ringtone etc. at max volume so that I wont miss out on anything. I have also toggled the button in settings so that I cant change the volume with the buttons.

However, whenever I’m using my bluetooth headphones or bluetooth speaker and listening to music at normal volume(or not playing anything at all) and I receive a notification or a phone call it goes aaaaallllll the way up to maximum volume and plays whatever sound it’s supposed to play while scaring the **** out if me. Incredibly frustrating.

Is there any way to lower the notification volume while using bluetooth accessories? Except for doing manually everytime using the silence switch that is.

I cant be the only one having this issue? How do you guys solve this?
