Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues
Looked through the wiki
Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the bug

Computer: Mac Mini M1, OS Big Sur 11.4

Latest version of the software enables the control of the sound using the keyboard, but the sound stays at constant level regardless of how much I increase or decrease it, or even turn on/off

Steps to reproduce

Install latest version
Give permission to the app to control the Mac
Try to increase/decrease sound levels, try turning on/off

Expected behavior

Sound levels are decreased/increased accordingly, or turned on/off. In reality nothing happens, sound levels stay the same all the time, whether it's done via keyboard, or a slider in sound control center.

Anything else?

No response

Environment Information (please complete the following information)

- macOS version: 11.4
- Mac model: Mac Mini M1
- MonitorControl version: 3.0.0 Build 3097
- Monitor(s): Benq ew2780u

Hi @cwwmbm - I think your display is controlled via software mode which allows for brightness control only. You should try using USB-C on the M1 mini.
