Factory reset all your Bluetooth devices themselves first. Every Bluetooth device is different so download the Bluetooth manufacturer user guide. Be sure to also have deleted all Bluetooth devices in your phone or tablet.
Now following is important.
Go to Bluetooth devices in your tablet or phone, then Advanced, then Disable 'Sync Media Devices Volume'. Seems to be the workaround.
If you would leave sync enabled you will loose Dolby Atmos, Equalizer and Adapt sound settings and you would have to reconfigure it every time.
This workaround I found by coincidence after weeks of googling.
Make sure the Bluetooth device doesn't synchronizes its Volume.

I have this issue with my HTC BT Headset which when paired and connected will receive all sounds including games and system sounds. Sometimes even the ringer will only sound in the headset and not on the phone (this happened at rare occasions).
I have edited the settings of my headset and unchecked the option for media but then it comes back again when I connect again.
Now, I want to be able to divert audio back to the device when for example I play a game or play a media clip. The only thing I see on the screen in the message that audio is being played on the BT headset.
I am sure there must be a key sequence to bypass this but I can't figure it out.
Sorry I have no solution, but just to say I have similar issues. My HTC headset picks up the audio from Copilot.... which I suppose is no bad thing in itself, except that the sound drops out all the time... which is pretty useless on satnav! Not sure whether this is a problem with the phone or the headset (whihc is otherwise working fine). I'd just like to switch off the A2DP feature too.

I am having a problem with no audio being routed to my Bluetooth in vehicle. This is a critical bug for me due to where I live having one of the strictest distracted driving laws.
After turning on the device no audio is working during calls. Mic and speaker since neither person hears anything.
Media audio doesn't work either. But I have found a non permanent fix for that.
If I connect to Bluetooth and start music it is silent but if I go into the Bluetooth settings and choose the preferences for that specific device and toggle the "media audio profile" off then on and restart the music it will work fine until I lose the connection. I have to repeat every power on.
The same type of fix doesn't work for call audio though.
Edit: Just noticed if I leave the phone audio profile turned off that media audio works fine all the time.
I too second what shadowofdarkness has mentioned in the post before. I have an "HBS 700" headset. When both profiles phone/media are on, and you hit the volume rocker the bluetooth audio is disabled. You disable both and enable media audio alone and it works fine sometimes. Else unpairing and pairing back and enabling only media audio makes it work without a hitch. Enabling phone audio at anytime brings us back to this issue.
Hi all,
I'm running the latest OOS4.5.8 (rooted, Magisk (no modules installed)), and noticed for a whilst (including when on previous versions) that the phone will 'hog' bluetooth audio devices connected.
I've got a pair of bluetooth headphones that will pair and connect to 2 audio devices - but only play audio from one at a time (the first to start transmitting). Before I got my OP5 I could connect 2 phones easily and start playing from Spotify on either without any issues.
With the OP5 connected, I've noticed often no audio comes out when I play spotify on the other phone - until I turn off Bluetooth on the OP5 at which point the headphones announces the phone is disconnected and audio that was playing from the other phone comes out.
I think this has been happening for a while, but I've only just identified the actual cause (before this I thought it was a headphone / spotify problem).
Has anyone experienced this / have any suggestions?
There's a Bluetooth audio codec in the advanced menu in settings, would that make any change ?
If not then potentially unpair all the devices and then resync up, there are very few options in regards to Bluetooth, it's pretty much on or off.
Also (could be unrelated) I've read that you can only have one Bluetooth controller at a time connected for gaming, so maybe this is related ? Could a Kernel change possibly help?
Check the threads to see if it's listed.
Did a search and couldn't find anything related to my problem.
I have recently gotten a SM-G950U1 variant of the S8, everything is working fine except for when the phone is connected to bluetooth. On bluetooth, all audio plays over the call channel versus the media channel. I've tried on two different cars and a JBL speaker, all with the same result. Turning off wifi calling helps this only slightly, as the audio is still muffled sounding unless I disable the "Call Audio" switch in each specific connection in the bluetooth settings. Obviously, ticking this switch off for the speaker isn't really an issue, but leaving it off for the car connections is a significant setback.
I'm just coming from an S6 that was on 7.0 that didn't have this issue. The phone is not rooted and I don't have a smart watch or anything like that. I did boot into safe mode and I think the issue was cleared up there, but was still active on my phone when I booted back to normal, with all of the accessibility options and permissions reset as a result. But other than the Samsung Sound Assistant app --which I deleted to see if it was the cause (it wasn't) -- I don't have anything that would change the way default audio functions would work, and I can't think of any specific app I have or a setting I may have ticked that would've caused this.
Have you tried using seperate audio settings? I think it might help...
Currently, on OOS 9.0.4, Bluetooth headset controls do not work correctly for me. I'm fairly certain there is no fix right now and I'll just have to wait for OnePlus to issue one.
When I press the Play/Pause button on my headset, the music app hangs (or crashes, if it is in the background) and the music remains paused. Skipping songs seems to work fine.
I've encountered this issue with both my bluetooth headphones (from Audio Technica and AKG respectively) and with every combination of Bluetooth option I could find in the settings (aptx on/off, media/ media + calls). This also occurs with multiple music apps, including Google Play Music and Phonograph.
I contacted OnePlus and they brought me through all sorts of steps mostly to do with signal strength, culminating in clearing the system cache and even a factory reset using the recovery. Nothing has worked yet.
I'm not too hopeful, but if you have any advice, please submit it below.
(Note: I'll be submitting this post to the OnePlus forums too, if I stop getting errors about not having permission to post)
I think it's just you. I'm on OOS 9.0.5 (and was using 9.0.4) on Spotify with the OnePlus Wireless buds (the ones from 6 months ago that were released). Buttons work fine. Volume and play/pause along with double tap commands.
Pair device again and uninstall offending app (along with clear data/cache) and try again perhaps.
EDIT: Also both of my vehicles work flawlessly with Bluetooth control. Can't say that for my old 5T or 6. Those two constantly required disconnect and reconnect of the Bluetooth to get them working. Only difference on 6T is not rooted...interesting but not complaining.
Unfortunately I'm not sure which app is the offending one, if any. I have a very similar setup on my old phone and there are no issues there.
I tested it immediately after doing a factory reset (most of the apps had not restored yet) and it still occurred. Tried Eon Player and Spotify too now, no success.

1.) Try pairing the offending bluetooth device to another media player and see if it works
2.) Try another bluetooth audio device with your OnePlus and see if that works.
That should help narrow it down more as to which is the culprit. I'm still thinking it's not the phone but your bluetooth devices not playing happy. Maybe go into developer options and play around with the bluetooth options in there...

Yeah I've done both of those things. Both sets of bluetooth headphones I own work fine with my old Samsung Galaxy A5 on Nougat but not on my OnePlus.
I've contacted OnePlus and sent them logs, so it's in their hands now.
