Volume rockers should control audio in the same way as they do for Chromecast

Hi, The following was possible in the past, but isn't anymore as far as I know. I'd like the same behaviour as Android has when using Chromecast, i.e. when I start casting the volume rockers should by default control the Chromecast/Bluesound volume, but (especially when outside the Bluesound application) the volume widget should pop up, allowing me to adjust the other volume settings.

  Hi Dinyar

  Volume rockers are to control volume on your phone. Since BluOS is not a media device, and does not actually play audio, this violates Android design.

  When you are using Chromecast, your phone is the source of the Audio so that is why it is possible in that situation.

  What is interesting on my friends Xperia 1 II volume can be controlled flawlessly with volume rockers even when other apps are open. However it is not possible on my Pixel 5.
