The volume is very quiet when connected to my car via bluetooth. It also seems much quieter in general, I even have the volume on maximum on my car stereo and its still not very loud. Was fine on iOS10.
EU Volume is off in settings and I have depaired and repaired the phone to the car stereo.
Seems Apple have further restricted volume limit, sick of this limitation as now music is very quiet.
When you are connected and using/playing through Bluetooth Richard, use your phone volume controls, they suddenly become your Bluetooth volume controls!
It’s a stupid set up!
I also had this problem. Music was very quiet on bluetooth speakers - almost inaudible unless the phone volume was set at maximum.
I fixed it by simply re-pairing the bluetooth device - go into the bluetooth settings, tap the "i" to the right of the offending bluetooth device, then tap "forget this device." Re-pair the device to the phone and everything should be audible again.
I guess iOS saves some data about each bluetooth device when it's paired, and iOS 11 has a problem interpreting the data stored by iOS 10.
Same problem here. iPhone 6S running on iOS 11.0.3. I noticed that as soon as I receive a notification (and the phone is not set on mute), the volume of the music played on the bluetooth device is increasing on its original maximum volume (like it was on iOS 10, before I had this problem). So is a software problem, definitely an iOS11 issue.
Can you confirm this?
Settings > Bluetooth > device > Forget This Device
And then
Connect one more time ;)
Settings>Sounds & Haptic>Change with buttons... is enabled (green)?

Im sorry, but this is BS. The volume buttons on my Bose BT headphones directly correlate, and turn up the volume on my iPhone7 just as if I was using the buttons on the phone. They are not mutually exclusive. With IOS 11.0.2 and 11.0.3, BT sound is definitely diminished. I can listen to music at full volume which I could never do before. Its as if Apple has decided "Volume Limit" is always enabled at half volume.
I would try to contact your nearest Apple Store and have an evaluation.

Hi TitaniumFocus
Strange actually as I am assuming you mean the Ford car in your username. I also have the same.
Yes using the volume buttons in the side I know I have to use to increase Bluetooth volume has been that way for since I can remember it’s the same on IOS11 is it not?
Anyway the problem seems fixed now since various updates and app updates.
I have the same issue on Jabra Evolve 75. Jabra 510 and Bose QC35 headsets. Car is fine.
Notifications set the volume to minimum. When first connected volume is minimum.
iPhone user for 10 years. This is beyond frustrating.
It isn’t a ‘software issue’ it’s how apple have now decided it’s to be used!
This is when playing music through bluetooth audio in the car, not the ringer or alerts button. I can still turn the volume upto full. I have this option turned off so I don't increase the ringer volume to maximum and it was fine on ios10.
I will try this when I get in the car next. What is your explanation around this as my idea of this option is so that the ringer and alerts volume is not altered when using the up down volume buttons. I can tell you now that when I am playing music the music volume is increased and lowered using these buttons but even with it on 100% its very quiet.
I don't have your certainties.
On my iP7 running iOS 11.0.1 BT's volume (headset or external speaker) shows no significant difference if compared to the one I had with 10.3.3.
But I don't want to be right all the time. You can keep your opinion.

It’s a DECISION because Apple decide to make it that way! An issue is a problem, it ‘may’ be a problem for you which is causing an issue but as Apple created it to work that way it’s a decision! 👍-1F3FB;
It isn’t rocket science! As to your reply of “I’m not helping” I have already answered the post by explaining how Bluetooth volume works when you are connected by Bluetooth to your car only a few posts above yours!
Just because you don’t like the way it works does not make it a software issue! I DO agree though (as I have previously stated) it’s a STUPID setup!
Music very quiet over bluetooth audio since updating to iOS 11
