Volume control on Bluetooth Headphones on Streambar

I was traveling and could not get to this until now.  

I’ve now done enough socratic testing to understand what has changed.  The capabilities profile on my Bluetooth devices is now being read and used where it wasn’t before. 

I’ve tested 3 different wireless headphones and a wireless speaker (but added via the wireless headphones menu).  Forgotten and re-paired. 

Nothing has changed for the user experience when using  AirPods or other Bluetooth devices that don’t include physical buttons to raise and lower volume. These all work as before. The Roku remote can be used to change the volume. 

What has changed is that for devices that have their own physical volume controls, these physical buttons must now be used and the volume controls on the Roku remote is no longer working while the Bluetooth headphones that have physical buttons are connected (either via the soundbar or paired with a mobile remote)

My guess is that my Bluetooth devices each have a capabilities profile that is exchanged and the Roku software has changed to use this profile and now forces users to use these physical buttons to avoid a user problem when the manual setting on the Bluetooth device is set too low or off, as the Roku remote volume control would act broken.  My problem is that I still prefer using the remote. 

This change happened at the last update to 14.0.4 build 12221 on 10/11

Not sure this is a bug, just a change and it avoids a specific user experience that is difficult to debug for the average user (on device controls have set the volume too low)

If it bothers me I can switch to my AirPods (or other headphones without their own physical volume controls) or use the physical buttons on those headphones that do.
