VLC volume does not change

I’m having a problem with the VLC add-on. The volume setting always remains at 50%. I increase the volume but it still goes to 50%. Why does this happen? Do you have any solution suggestions?

my debug logging

Im having the same problem

There is a similar issue here.

I was trying to change the volume by automation to have a quieter notification during night and day.

It can only change the volume at another media device, “remote VLC”, but not at itself.

I use two RPi5s, both with a USB sound card and a small speaker.
