Bad quality/low volume on Bluetooth headphones

ZF Model: ZB602KL
RAM: 4G
Firmware/APP Version: 059
Frequency of Occurrence: Always
Rooted: No
APP Name: Bluetooth aptx

Hi, I recently updated to the 059 firmware and noticed that Bluetooth sound quality significantly decreases as well as max volume is too low. I am using headphones that support aptx (I see notification that it is turned on). I am comparing sound using same apps/same file on my Asus phone, old iPad and Windows laptop. Both quality and max volume are way worse on Asus phone which was not the case before. What I have done so far: - tried to 'Disable Absolute volume' in Dev settings - reset Bluetooth/wifi settings - reset all apps settings Still no luck. Moreover it also sounds as if left/right channels are not balanced. And it also sounds that switching Aptx on and off (in Bluetooth settings) does not affect sound quality at all - therefore my guess would be that aptx is not working (although shows to be active). I was trying to see HCI log - but it's not working - no log file is produced to further investigate the issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
I am facing the same issue on my ROG Phone 3.
The volume controls seem off and I have to go beyond 50% to even hear anything.
I am using bluetooth earphones -
