My bluetooth headphone audio is much lower then when I was using Ubuntu (so it shouldn't be a harware problem)
I tried the following solution: Bluetooth Headset volume too low (only in arch) / Multimedia and Games / Arch Linux Forums but it didn't help
I also tried Arch WIki, but it assumes PulseAudio, but when I try to install it garuda says I would have to remove gnome-bluetooth and shell.
Maybe?
Did you search in forum?
When I exit alsa the master volume goes back to 0
Start at the beginning read
please

Are you on KDE?
Maybe reboot after update.
I'm on Gnome
