DYplayer Volume Problems since Update of Arduino IDE

I did use a DY-HV20T/HV8F Soundmodule in one of my electronics.

(https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000492977695.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.173.7ee15c5fl1JYR4&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu#nav-specification)

I had it for a long time playing files with DYPlayer Lib perfectly.
The Volume was set to 18 which worked perfectly until 5 minutes ago where I updated my Arduino IDE and libs from an older Version.

For what I know there was no update to the DYPlayer and I already had the latest Version.

Then I did an unrelated change in my program uploaded it to my ESP and since then the volume is ALWAYS set to full (Volume 30 instead of the set 18).

This basically renders the soundcard nearly useless for me.

So is there something I can or need to do to get the set volume recognised by DYPlayer again?

Or ist there another lib I could use instead since the DYPlayer Lib isnt updated anymore since 2020.

The IDE should not matter, the libraries and board packages on the other hand is another story. If there was no update to the DYPlayer library (to your knowledge) that's more than likely not the culprit; did you also upgrade the ESP32 board package?

No there was no DYPlayerlib update its not even shown in the libraries tab. I had to install it manually back when I started. I downloaded it from Github back then.

Yes I did also update the boards package and there were multiple esp upgrades in it.
At the first upgrade I ONLY upgraded the boards and libraries and some failed.

Therefore I upgraded the IDE and after that did update the still missing boards and libraries again.

And all seemed to work out flawlessly then.

So basically what could I do to solve my problem now?

Can you remember what the version of your previous ESP board package was? If yes, roll back to that one. Else I would roll back the ESP board package (to the last 2.x version) and see if that solves the problem.

Ok I solved the problem. I found THIS old Issue on Github:

I tried to add a delay and suddenly my volume is working again.
So there must be an issue in that library.

No I cant remember but as I just wrote I just solved it it seems.
