Unfortunately, you have to do this each time you connect/disconnect a BT audio device
from volumeicon.
Hi! Checking in as well, I have the same issue on Manjaro.
The project has not been updated in a long time, so I'm not sure if it's still active or not, however I have discovered, by reading #49 , that if you switch the device from default to something else and then back to default, it will fix the issue.
A restart of volume-icon fixes the issue as well.
Both solutions, of course, are a workaround
from volumeicon.
Thank you for the info. I will try your workarounds. Though, I guess you have to do this after each reboot. So not super practical. Still good to know

this is my solution for xfce based distros: (may require a bit of edit for your system)
[SOLVED]Volume not working, audio not switching to Bluetooth, HDMI

This is how I've got audio switching AND volume control automagically to the last connected device (Bluetooth, HDMI, USB)
(This was reported in january 2017 to this forum but still didn't make it to MX-18)
*Edit pulseaudio default settings.
On a Terminal you could type:
sudo featherpad /etc/pulse/default.pa
*Add this two lines at the end of the /etc/pulse/default.pa file:
###Switch audio automatically to the device just added (Bluetooth, HDMI, USB)
load-module module-switch-on-connect
*Add Pulseaudio Plugin to the xfce Panel
right-click on empty part of the panel, Add New Items...,
select PulseAudio Plugin, click Add, Close.
*Switch Pulseaudiostart(with volumeicon) for Pulseaudio Sound System
open Session and Startup (from mx menu)
select the Application Autostart tab
deselect (untick) Pulseaudiostart (starts volumeicon aft....
select (tick) PulseAudio Sound System (Start the PulseAudio So....
Close.
Enjoy!
