Edifier S2000 Pro Bluetooth: volume control using Bluetooth doesn't work as expected

When adjusting the volume on my Android phones when connected to the Edifier S2000 Pro speakers (by pressing the physical volume button, or adjusting the digital volume settings with my finger), the Edifier only responds to effectively 3 settings - loud, medium, or silent.

When connected to other bluetooth audio devices (Soundcore portable bluetooth speaker, for example), I have a range of volumes that correspond to each adjustment of my Android digital volume controls. I have a range from 0% to 100%, and can hear each adjustment.

Both the Soundcore and the Edifier volume controls work the same way via Android, it's just that the Edifier doesn't respond to anything except muted, 10% of the volume control, then 20%. Moving the volume slider from 20% to 100% has no effect on the Edifier.

Any suggestions?

i've seen this same complaint in product reviews. does edifier have a custom app you can use? i'm pretty sure it's android controlling the volume levels, not the edifier in the current setup. i have a similar problem with headphones that don't integrate directly into window's volume control, the volume changes in 30% or so increments so its either painfully loud or too quiet. if i only listen to the troublesome pair of headphones or my speaker set, i can adjust the settings on the speaker to compensate for the limitations of the headphones but ultimately, i haven't found a great solution for using more devices.

Appreciate the response.

I'll look into the edifier app - a quick google search shows there is an app, but it's poorly reviewed. I'll have to dig in and see if I can make it work.

Hey man, I've just got some Edifier speakers and having the same issue. Only getting 3 steps of volume control from my Android but full control on my Apple. Did you find any solutions to this?

Good news man! After a week of banging my head against the wall on this and searching the deep corners of the internet I found a solution to this issue:

Just go into developer settings and enable the "disable absolute volume" setting. Turn your Bluetooth on and off and boom, full volume control is back. Hope that helps!

So awesome! Thank you!
Now I just wish the minimum volume on the Edifiers themselves could go a little lower so I can play records a bit quieter

Hey u/statikman666 you seem to know these speakers well. I just bought them and using optical input (from TV) but the minimum volume is not really quiet. Is that supposed to be like that? I mean, it is quiet, but not super quiet.

I only use them for vinyl and BT, but it's kind of weird how hight the cutoff level is. I assume the factory just set it that way. BTW, have you had issues with the tweeters overheating with optical? Some users have reported smoke coming from them.

With Bluetooth I don't have this quietness 'problem'.

Also, wha.. !? Hot tweeters? Do I need to worry my house will burn down. I just touched them and they were not at all hot.
