Windows 10: Volume mixer not actually changing volume

Hey! A few days ago, I got a PCIe network adapter to connect my Bluetooth headphones to my PC. However, the only way to adjust the volume when using my Bluetooth headphones is with my headphones' built-in sound controls. The windows 10 volume mixer is doing nothing. I like to make sure that my sound is never too high so I don't get hearing damage, but it's pretty difficult to do so without the sound prompt showing me how loud it is. How do I fix this?Thanks!
