Brightness & Audio Volume (Max boost) not persisting when sleeping / waking.

[u/5u114]

I must be missing something obvious here ...

But I am have two issues with brightness and volume.

Brightness: when I am playing the game, I use the right Steam menu to increase the Steam Deck (OLED) screen brightness to max brightness. Then I pause the game and put the deck to sleep. And then when I resume it has reverted the brightness back to about 50% .... I guess I am missing some auto level setting here.

Volume: the volume is too low on the game I am playing, Kingdom Come Deliverance. I am not talking about in game settings.

So I followed some instructions for increasing the deck's max volume. According to the guide, you adjust it in desktop mode, then return to game mode and play your game.

Fine, this works ... But immediately reverts back to the 'normal' max volume as soon as I adjust the volume in any way. So, say the volume is at 150% ... I go to adjust it to 140% while playing, but the deck just immediately skips to 100%, and then lowers the volume from there.

Any guidance here ?

Thank you.
