So, the sound icon in the menu bar does not seem to accurately reflect my selections from the touch bar sound control. If I go into the new control center (not a big fan of it, to be honest) and change the sound settings the menu bar icon does change. Just not when I adjust it with the touch bar... Is this just me, or is this part of the Big Sur changes?
Got a tip for us?

Mine does not do that. It works exactly as I would expect and the icon changes. There is more discussion about this here:
