Low volume with USB-C to 3.5mm adapter

I have iPhone 15 Pro and when I listen to music on wired AirPods Max using Apple's USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter the music is a lot quieter on max volume than on BT - like a lot.

The problem doesn't exist on MacBook Pro with M1 Pro - on Mac the headphones are equally loud on BT, adapter and jack.

I don't remember having the same problem with Lightning to 3.5 mm adapter on iPhone 13 Pro.

Can someone confirm that this is real problem or just my iPhone is faulty?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Hello Everyone,

I was also facing the same low volume issue with USB-C to 3.5mm connector.

The following setting was enabled in my 15 Pro Max:

Settings > Sounds and Haptics > Headphone Safety > Reduce Loud Audio

After disabling this settings, there is a huge difference in the audio output, getting the previous output at only around 50% of the current volume.

This setting worked for me, hope that helps.

Thank you
