Keyboard media keys for volume control buttons stop responding after connecting bluetooth headset

I have a keyboard with system-wide volume control keys. It works fine on Windows 11 with a Realtek wired headset. However, when I connect my Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth headset, which becomes the default media output, the volume control keys stop responding. They start working again with the Realtek wired headset after the Bluetooth headset is disconnected.
