I hope to find some clear text config file for this mixer, where the level settings are and if I find something, to modify those settings by editor (as devel-su). I will report here if I find something. @ApB: Thank you for the ‘pulseaudio’ hint!

I also have freebuds 3, paired on my Xperia 10ii.
And experience the low volume issue when trying to listen to any media content (music, video, recording, streaming video etc).
This MUST be a missing codec issue, since the same BT earpieces work perfectly fine when making calls. The volume on freebuds 3 while in calls is loud and clear.
I hope this will be solved in the final 4.1 version!

This issue seems to be fixed with 4.1. At least with a 10 ii.

But not fixed with 4.1 on an XA2. I still have audio levels that are so quiet it is impossible to hear the voice on the other end of a phone call clearly when the phone is connected to the car - and no way to turn it up to a usable level. Volume on the phone and the car are maxed out, but still way too quiet.
I think I encounter the low volume as well with Sony’s LinkBuds on Xperia 10 II, SFOS 4.4.
Did not try, but i think in the context of this bug perhaps this reply and possible solution should be linked here with the bug report as well:
Ok, I tested around a little on this Issue. I have my LinkBuds coupled with my Notebook as well. The System-Audio Slider on the computer seems to influence the “internal” Volume of the LinkBuds. (pacmd list-sinks gives a left and right volume value)
When I hear some audio on the Notebook, around 30 % “system loudness” is enough most of the time. When I use it then on Sailfish, the LinkBuds are much to silent and the “internal volume” of the LinkBuds seems not to be influenced by Sailfish.
I have much higher volume with Sailfish, if i turn up the “system loudness” on my Notebook with connected LinkBuds to 100% before connecting them to Sailfish again. That solves the issue of low loudness.
So what we need is either to turn up the internal volume of the devices on connection to 100% or adjust the BT device volume with the volume slider. The LinkBuds for example do not have a possibility to adjust the volume directly at the device.

Maybe this should be a separate bug report or go to the first post. Currently its likely this information is lost, when someone looks at the report. @ApB
As long as there is nothing built in the OS, i wrote a little app to adjust the BT devices “internal volume”. Details: Low volume on Bluetooth headphones? Try this - #2 by fridlmue
