Apps' volume control out of sync all the time
So I've been using iOS, iPadOS and macOS apps for quite a while, alongside general control on iOS through Control Center when using AirPlay and/or Tidal Connect.
No matter on what device I set the volume, the volume rocker (or slider) does not update on others. For example, if I set the volume of my Powernode via iOS Control Center using AirPlay, the volume slider will not be updated on a macOS app or an iOS app. Meaning, if I set the volume on control center to 20%, the iOS app will have some random volume slider value set (for example, to 40%). This way I cannot know what the current volume is and it gives an unpleasant experience when changing the volume. For example, let's say I set the volume to 3% in the middle of the night on iOS and then went to iPadOS and try setting it to 5%. The app will, for some random reason, have the volume slider set to 40%, which would drastically increase the volume when I start holding the slider until I decrease the volume.
This is a very bad UX, in my opinion. Instead of putting this irritating vibrating thing when changing the volume, better make sure your apps get updates and sync with each other.

What are the versions of your controller apps, what are the operating system versions of your devices, what player are you using and what is its version of BluOS?
These pieces of information might help.
Also, was there a time when things worked properly and, if so, can you remember roughly when this issue first appeared?

BluOS Controller (macOS Ventura 13.7.1) 4.4.1
iOS app: 4.8.0
BluOS: 4.8.7
Bluesound Powernode
This issue started happening a few months ago, but I cannot pinpoint the date.
For example, now it worked when I set the volume on iOS and then opened the macOS app to check the volume.

Many thanks.
Annoying isn't it? Now you see it, now you don't.
