> This is the reason the physical volume buttons on Android 12 on Pixel phones no longer adjust Chromecasted music volume, unless you are in the music app in question.

Are you f'ing kidding me? This has been driving me nuts, I assumed it was just another stupid Android bug that would eventually be silently patched. It's so annoying how functionality like this can be removed without a peep, at least inform me if you're going to do this.

(It's not just Pixel phones, same problem with my Samsung A51 and I just got a brand new Motorola phone with the same problem).

Yes, this drove me nuts. And was even more annoying because Google Support were totally unaware and acted like morons - it was about 30 minutes before I realised they had no clue what they were investigating and were just blindly plodding along, at which point I told them I'd give up. Weirdly they spammed me a few more times to try to get me to come back to resolve it (without giving any indication they knew any more).

They could have licensed the patent, I know crazy talk, but we never see what the licensing arrangements would have been

The patent for what? Connecting a volume button to the volume of something?
