The AVRCP version was read from "sdptool browse" output running on my linux machine. So in this case, the absolute volume was not working at all on this phone despite the fact that it should (developer options were set to enable absolute volume). Also the absolute volume on this phone was not working with bluez no matter what the order of init calls. > > 3. xiaomi redmi 8 will not even report that it has "A/V_RemoteControl" > > (UUID 0x110E), it just reports that it has only > > "A/V_RemoteControlTarget" (UUID 0x110C) but still it can control > > volume on my yamaha av receiver and sony headphones and receive volume > > updates from them.

In AVRCP specification v1.6.2 (this is the newest one on the bluetooth sig site) in paragraph 2.2.1 (Roles) there is: "The controller (CT) is a device that initiates a transaction by sending a command frame to a target." So if the device wants to send a command it must play the controller role. And SetAbsoluteVolume is the command that is sent from the phone when you press volume up/down on the phone. So To support absolute volume the phone has to be a controller (and the target to handle play/pause etc. commands). Next in the same specification in chapter 8 (Service discovery interoperability requirements) there is: "This profile defines the following service records for the CT and the TG, respectively." and below is definition of those records. So I understand it that if phone wants to send SetAbsoluteVolume command it must implement the controller role (CT) and define the service record with services "A/V Remote ControlI" (0x110E) and "A/V Remote Control Controller" (0x110F) in "Service Class ID List" field. And in case of redmi 8, this phone does not define such service record and still it sends SetAbsoluteVolume commands. So either this phone is not respecting the specification or I totally missed the point.
