How do I reduce the volume over Bluetooth from my NWZ-A15 Walkman to a Bluetooth speaker that has no volume control? The sound is too loud!

Hello @Colchemy,

normally you decrease the audio volume on the MP3-player (Walkman).

Hi Colchemy,

Have you tried lowering the volume from the Walkman itself?

Cheers,

Yes, i tried reducing the volume using the normal side button that lowers the volume when you are listening on headphones, and it had no effect at all! Hence my enquiry. I thought there might have been something in the Walkman manual, but no luck there either. Guess I'll have to buy a Bluetooth radio, as the speakers I've seen have no volume control.

Well, it doesn't work on the NWZ-A15, unless there's some secret method not mentioned in the manual.

Hello @Colchemy,

there is still the possibility, that the Bluetooth speakers @The_Black_Rose and I are using have special hardware build in, which reacts to the "command" from the player to deacrease the volume - if your speaker doesn't support this function, that could be the reason why it is not possible to control the volume via the player.

I sadly don't have any speaker at home where I can't increase/decrease the volume via bluetooth, so that is only an assumption.

Hello @Colchemy,

do you have a so called "Enhanced Mode" in your Bluetooth "Audio Device Connection Settings"?

I have this option on the NW-A45 and the description states it should be activated, if you can't change the volume over Bluetooth.

Maybe your player has the same option.

Sadly no, it doesn't exist in the NWZ-A15. I will just have to source a speaker with volume, or even buy a Bluetooth radio.
