Dorico making Motu soundcard volume jump

Hello

It happens in both cases - i.e. if I open Dorico itself or open a file from within Dorico. Also if I close Dorico or a Dorico file.

I’ve double-checked this with a very low volume track - I’ve also checked what the Motu software is doing:

Motu’s Audio Setup has a tick-box marked ‘Enable Core Volume Controls’. It’s a though the Dorico software is over-ruling this, even though there’s no evidence in the user interface to the Motu software. I’ve checked the audio setup within Dorico itself and the tickbox is still ticked but the software is over-ruling this. When I press the buttons on F11 and F12, to rapidly bring the volume down again, I notice that Dorico has forced those core volume controls up to maximum (as seen on the Apple interface, with those horizontal squares and as heard in the room).

It’s pretty shocking if you forget that’s about to happen and you’re working on something. A fix or workaround would be greatly appreciated!
