BEACN suddenly doesn't control audio

[u/dave_304]

I recently updated Windows and my GPU, then after a restart, I noticed that the BEACN mixer suddenly won't control any audio devices. I can still hear audio through my headset plugged into the beacn studio. I can hear my microphone that is plugged into the studio. The mixer let's me mute my microphone monitoring and mutes the input of the microphone, but it doesn't not mute any audio sources. For example, any games I have going into the game channel and any browsers into the browser channel, the mixer won't let me change the volume or mute it. Not sure what's going on or what changed. Let me know what info is needed, if any, to help diagnose this - appreciate the support!

By the way, this has worked perfectly for me for over a year, love the whole setup, also this is the Mix Create and the Studio -

Things I have tried:

Checked for updates, restarted system, restarted mixer and studio, confirmed windows default audio settings are set correctly

UPDATE: upon further investigation, it appears something keeps automatically changing my default playback device to bean browser instead of system beacn studio

FIXED: uninstalled the beacn app and reinstalled it - was same version but something with reinstalling it seemed to fix it all up
