PSA: Apple's USB-C audio adapter now works properly in Android 16: fixed volume levels

Android for a long time didn't support the hardware volume level on the Apple USB-C audio adapter (and others). Seems to have been fixed in Android 16.

Apple's adapter is very good audio quality wise. Kind of a flimsy cable though, but they're surprisingly reasonably priced....
