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

When I reduce volume to zero via keyboard, monitor will remain muted after raising volume again. Have to use hardware button on monitor to resolve. The mute button will also mute but cannot unmute without using monitor hardware button. This is on an LG HDR 4K monitor (27UK500).

Steps to reproduce

Installed Monitor Control from latest
Gave access to all keys via Sys Settings
Mute via keyboard mute button
Raise volume or unmute... issue persists.

Expected behavior

Once raising volume or unmuting... volume should return.

Anything else?

No response

- macOS version: 13.0.1
- Mac model: M1 MacBook Pro
- MonitorControl version: 4.1.0
- Monitor(s): LG HDR 4K

Hey guys, I implemented a host of mute related settings in BetterDisplay, if MC does not work well in this regard, you can try playing with these:
