Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues
Read through the Monitor-Troubleshooting Wiki
Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the issue

(I am connected to a 2021 MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip)

After downloading MonitorControl, I was able to adjust brightness on my new S80A, and the sound controls on the keyboard were working.
The volume controls on the keyboard, although working, weren't affecting the output volume of the monitor (which has built-in speakers)

Expected behavior

When I play audio with the monitor selected as the audio output, the audio should play through the monitor speakers.

Anything else?

No response

Environment Information (please complete the following information)

- macOS version: 13.0 Ventura

- MonitorControl version: v4.1.0
- Monitor(s):Samsung S80a
- Monitor Cable(s)/Connection(s):USB-c (MacBook Pro) to USB-c (Samsung S80a)

Unfortunately many monitors do not support volume controls via DDC. Several Samsung displays fall to this category. There is nothing much we can do about it I am afraid.
