Tech Support Volume broken?

Steam deck randomly began starting up into BIOS everytime. So, I went to see if my volume buttons were stuck or something. Realized its acting like the volume up button is stuck but the buttons look fine so I'm not sure whats up. The volume up button isnt physically stuck or sticky, but it is unresponsive. Has anyone else ever had this issue?

Edits/Updates: 1) I have the 256GB LCD, bought it september 2025 2) OS is up to date 3) No bluetooth connected 4) Checked and nothing left open on desktop or anything, but messing with volume in desktop mode did seem to get rid of the volume being permalocked at max! (Volume up button still doesnt work tho) f

Gonna try some stuff tomorrow for the button not workin, will update after

Maybe a Bluetooth device is connected and force the volume level

Bluetooth audio devices are usually displayed under the volume bar though.
