How to stop my phone from controlling volume on my computer

Hello, I have the following problem: whenever i am playing music on my computer, the volume control button on my phone is directly linked with my computer spotify volume so whenever i click less volume it just changes that of my pc spotify instead of the volume of my actual phone. How can i stop that?

Spotify is not open on my phone and is controlling the volume on my PC.

Closing the app is not a solution, you should be able to change this. When I have Spotify open to skip a track for example but got another media source playing on my phone, I don't want it to control my Spotify. I just want to turn it off. For good.

Hello Mario,
Even when the app is closed, this continues to happen. Additionally, without actually saying it, you've said in your response that there is no way to disable this feature. Please either make it an option in the settings to disable this feature, and leave it disabled by default, or remove it entirely. This causes so many problems for me and it's a feature that I cannot possibly imagine anybody wanting. Why would I want to control the volume on my computer when my computer has its own volume controls?

Stop asking questions like you don't know what we want. Add the ability to disable this feature in the settings. Regardless of whether the app is open or not, this continues to be a problem.

How do I get Spotify mobile to stop controlling my desktop PC volume. "Stop or close the app on your phone" is not an acceptable answer - the Spotify app keeps relaunching itself and it's becoming an increasingly annoying problem.

How is this STILL a problem!? If there is a solution someone please share... 

Any updates on this annoying "feature"? How it could be disabled? 

Why is this still a problem after 5 **bleep** years? This is not a feature, this is a bug that no one asked for.
