Volume Slider not working with headphones

I've had this same issue previously.  Here's how to fix it:

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-absolute-volume-on-windows-10

Methods 1 and 2 didn't work; the bluetooth support service was already running and my headphones have already been set as default. When I tried method 3, there wasn't an option in troubleshooting for hardware and devices. My headphones are still stuck at the same volume.

I already tried those steps and they didn't fix the problem.

The SFC said it didn't find any violations and failed to solve the problem. I also tried resetting my headphones but that didn't work as well.
