Volume changes by itself - workaround needed

When I have headphones connected volume sometimes keeps changing by itself. Volume can go up or down as if volume button was pressed. This is particularly annoying when driving on a motorbike when music just fades away.

I don't know if this is software or hardware issue. I don't think its the headphones, because theres no buttons om them and only two contacts on the plug.

So, is anybody else experiencing this? Or is it just my phone?

And is there a way to lock the volume so it can't be changed with volume buttons or headphone controls? For me it would be enough to lock to the maximum volume. I'd like to unlock it, too.

Jolla C, 2.1.0.11

Edit: My guess at the moment is that Jolla thinks it's getting a command from headphone buttons. It seems that volume change might correlate with wiggliq the chord but I can't reproduce it reliably. Maby it's got something to do with how contacts are placed in the headphones plug.

If there's a way to disable registering headphone button presses I'd like to try that. Or adjusting the delay before such button press is registered if that's possible.
