an opcode of x this sets an absolute volume which may be a default value determined |
by an application or the client device it may also be the value remembered from the last time |
that application was used |
if the value is it indicates that the volume control server still has the volumesetting from |
its last session which should continue to be used for this session the volume client should |
retrieve this value either through a notification or by reading it and use it as the initial value |
for this session this can improve the user experience by starting with the same vo lume |
settings which had previously been used |

volume offset control service |
if all you have is a single mono speaker then the volume control service is all you need as |
soon as you are dealing with more than one audio stream whether thats going to a single |
acceptor or multiple acceptors you need to include an instance of the volume offset control |
service for every rendered audio location all of the characteristics are accessed using |
procedures in the volume control profile |
the volume offset contr ol service includes four characteristics shown in table all |
four of them are mandatory |
characteristic mandatory properties optional properties |
volume offset state read notify none |
volume offset control point write none |
audio location read notify write without response |
audio output description read notify write without response |
table volume offset control characteristics |
the volume offset state and volume offset control work in the normal manner the |
volume offset state includes two fields volumeoffset and changecounter |
field size |
volumeoffset octets |
changecounter octet |
table the volume offset characteristic |
the volumeoffset is two octets long as it allows values from to the value of the |
volumeoffset is added to the value of volumestate to provide a total volume value for |
rendering |
the changecounter is the same concept we saw in the volume control service and is used |
to ensure that any client issuing a volume offset command is aware of the current status of |
the vol ume offset note that although it is the same concept and has the same name it is a |
separate instance every instance of vocs as well as the single instance of vcs maintain |
their own value of changecounter which is updated when there is any change t o their |
volumeoffset or volumestate field value |
to effect a change a client writes to the volume offset control point characteristic with the |
following parameters |

audio location characteristics |
the volume offset control service contains two characteristics relating to the audio location |
to which the offset is applied |
the first of these is the audio location characteristic this is a octet bitmap which defines |
which audio location the offset should be applied to u sing the format of audio locations |
from the generic audio assigned numbers normally this will contain a single location as a |
separate vocs instance is applied to each audio location this is normally a read only |
characteristic set at manufacture but it can also be made writable |
the audio output description characteristic allows a text string to be assigned to each audio |
location to provide more information for an application eg bedroom left speaker it may |
be assigned at manufacture or made ac cessible for users to assign friendly names |
audio input control service |
the final part of the rendering trio of services is the audio input control service this |
acknowledges that ma ny products such as hearing aids earbuds and headphones contain |
more than one source of audio streams and that more than one of them may be used at the |
same time the most common example is the concurrent use of an external microphone along |
with a bluetooth stream for hearing aids this has always been the way they work more |
recently with the appearance of transparency modes it has become an increasingly popular |
feature in earbuds and headphones so that wearers can be made aware of sounds from the |
world around them |
an instance of the audio input control service is n ormally included for each separate audio |
path which is intended to be rendered on that device if there is a sin gle bl uetooth le audio |
path it offers no advantages over vcs so does not need to be included audio inputs which |
are not directly fed to the output such as microphones which provide inputs for noise |
cancellation would not have their own instance as they would be used for processing another |
audio stream which might have its own aics instance |
the audio input control service contains six ch aracteristics which are listed in table |
all of them are mandatory to support |
section audio input control service |
name mandatory |
properties optional properties |
audio input state read notify none |
audio input control point write none |
audio input type read none |
audio input status read notify none |
audio input description read notify write without response |
gain setting properties read none |
table audio input control service characteristics |
before jumping into these we need to understand how aics defines gain with volume |
vcs and vocs simply define a linear scale from to much like a knob on a hi fi unit |
which goes from to and leav es it up to the manufacturer to convert that to what is usually |
a decibel based internal mapping with aics the assumption is made that gain will be decibel |
based so the figures for gain are in decibel based units however to provide a bit more |
flexibility the actual step in gain values can be defined in multiples of db what those |
multiples are is a manufacturer specific choice which is exposed in the gain setting properties |
characteristic along with minimum and maximum permitted values as s hown in table |
name size |
