Bluetooth volume low on reconnection

[Eugene Odeluga]

How to reproduce:

So as to start from a fresh base setting, restart Bluetooth service by opening up a terminal and typing:

sudo service bluetooth restart

Connect Bluetooth audio device (I'm using Xbox Wireless Headset)

Adjust volume to maximum (non amplified)

Disconnect Bluetooth audio device by turning it off

Reconnect Bluetooth audio device and adjust volume back up to maximum (non amplified) if it has lowered automatically (I believe this is a known hearing safety feature)

Notice the volume is lower than before even though it is set to maximum.

Again, restart the Bluetooth service like before.

Reconnect Bluetooth audio device and adjust volume back up to maximum (non amplified).

Notice the volume is as high as it originally was.
