Volume resets sometimes

I just spent an hour figuring out why the input monitoring through my headphones was so low volume all of a sudden. I deleted the app and reinstalled and still the same. I ended up having to connect to my Mac and the volume was all the way down. That’s why I rated it 3 stars, otherwise it’s great. Fix this guys!
