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

Occasionally, the mute/unmute button behaves as volume down. This seems to happen only when the system is unmuted, and it happens sparsely.

Steps to reproduce

Hit the "mute/unmute" button on the keyboard while unmuted with sound coming through the monitor speakers
OSD for "reduce volume" shows up
Hit the button again correctly leads to "mute"

Expected behavior

I expect the monitor sound output to mute or unmute every time I hit the keyboard button.

Anything else?

No response

This seems to be a monitor issue. You might want to play with some of the mute related settings of BetterDisplay to see if there is any combination of settings that work with that display.
