If you are also getting bugged with any of these issues, then this guide shall help you resolve them. Follow along.
How to Fix Pixel Volume Issues after June Update
It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success. So with that in mind, let’s get started.
FIX 1: Turn off Adaptive Sound
During the November Pixel Drop, we got blessed with the Adaptive Sound feature that silently made its way. For the unware, Adaptive Sound makes use of your device’s microphone to determine the noise around you and then makes some software level changes to improve the sound quality. While it sounds like a great functionality on paper, there’s still some way to go before it becomes practically efficient. Moreover, some users were able to rectify the volume issue after disabling this feature. So let’s put this fix to the test and check out the results.
FIX 2: Fix for Bluetooth Headphones
If you are facing volume issues with your wireless headphones/earphones, then there are quite a few tweaks that you could try. These include the likes of changing the value of AVRCP, disabling A2DP HW Offload, disabling HD Audio, and using Use SBC Audio Codec, among others. To try out these fixes, please refer to our comprehensive guide on How to Fix Bluetooth Headphones not working with Pixel 6/Pro.
FIX 3: Downgrade to April Update
Your final course of action should be to downgrade your device to the April update. But why April and why not May? Well, this is because the issue is prevalent with the May update as well. So consider rolling back a couple of months. However, while this will surely rectify the issue, but the process requires an unlocked bootloader. And doing so will wipe off all the data and could also nullify the device’s warranty. So if that’s well and good, then you could perform this downgrade via Android Flash Tool or using Fastboot commands.
So these were the two different workarounds that shall help you fix the Pixel devices volume issue after the June update. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen [maybe with the July update], we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workarounds are your best bet.
