Does this only affect certain dongles?
I use a Meizu Hifi Pro and it doesn't behave like it has an internal volume, instead deferring to whatever the phones volume is.

Some dongles default their volume to 100% (or close to). Android doesn't touch the hardware volume and simply controls the volume of the digital sound it's sending to the DAC I believe.
What I am really wanting is for Google to remove the 16/44.1 limit in Androids audio chain. It seems like they have the plumbing for it as of 13 but I still need to use Synfonium's custom audio pipeline to get full res audio.
