Public bug reported:
see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/437468/bluetooth-headset-
volume-too-low-only-in-arch
==Reproducer==
1) install Ubuntu 20.4
2) pair with a set of Apple AirPods
3) try to listen to some video
4) put volume up to maximum and repeat 3)
5) turn on volume boost and repeat 4)
==Actual result==
at any stage 3, 4 or 5 the audio from the AirPods is extremely quiet,
almost too low to hear (though after 5 it becomes audible in a quiet
environment)
==Expected result===
It should be possible to hear the sound through the AirPods by default.
==Comment==
The following instructions from the stack exchange answer fix the
problem
Edit
/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service
and change
ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd
to
ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=avrcp
