Android still doesn’t handle USB audio very well. USB DAC dongles have their own volume settings, however Android doesn’t ever change this. This means that if a dongle has a preset volume level that is relatively low, android can never go above this.

Someone on Reddit has written a better explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/11wfe05/android_dongle_volume_issue_lets_ask_for_a_fix/

Help us get this issue higher up on android’s priority list by pressing the +1 button. I know it probably doesn’t affect many users here but thank you anyway!

    Android volume control overall has been a huge pain in the ass. i used to be able to control Bluetooth mic volume separately and now you can’t and now only pixel buds get good mic volume. my other headsets are all too quiet. very annoying and I’ve been complaining for years now.
