Good. So we are interested in card number 1.

Nice. What are the levels of the input channels (should be a 'mic' or
something). And at the bottom of those vertical bars, verify you don't
have a M (for 'Muted') for the inputs.

With this ncurses interface open, try playing a sound to the bluetooth
device and change the volume using up/down arrow of the playback device
in the ncurses interface. Verity the volume changes.

I think the command is taking the device name from your .asoundrc. What
happens if you move that file out of the way?
