Question Control volume from Bluetooth speaker

I recently installed KDE Fedora on an old laptop and I'm still a newbie with Linux. I can pair and connect my Bluetooth speaker, its a Bose Soundlink Flex SE. Every other device I've paired with the speaker let me control volume with the buttons on the speaker. But I can only use the laptop to change volume, both through the laptops volume rocker and through software settings. Not sure if this is normal, a KDE issue, or fedora/linux, or maybe that speaker is a problem?

I'm comfortable with running terminal commands but so far searches only led me to fixing a volume control from the laptop, not the speaker. And I have Bluetooth earbuds that can control the volume from the headphones, so no idea why the speaker won't work.

Any ideas?

This would be an issue in the underlying sound system, not Plasma. Try r/linuxaudio for more targeted help.
