Cant set Ringer volume to 100% with Volume change action

Hi,
I have macro 10846 - to change sound settings based on Long Press of Volume Up / Down button.
However, even if I set Ringer to 100% - it is not that loud.
If I use the 3rd Party SoundProfile app and set Ringer to 100% in that and use Send Intent from Macrodroid - it works fine (macro 10847) and the ringer is very loud just as I want it.
Any ideas what is going wrong?
Thanks

Are you sure that it's actually changing the volume of the ringer channel when invoking from MacroDroid?

Hi @MacroDroidDev
Upon further testing it looks like the Macrodroid Volume Change seems to get overridden by Android or my phone (Pixel 6).
Even when I set every single value to zero in action, when someone calls me the ringer still rings and then when I check the Sound settings using the Phone settings, the Call Volume and Ring+Notification volume have both gone back up to 60-70%
So, it looks like MacroDroid is not able to change the Ringer volume permanently - like the SoundProfile app can?
The Media volume seems to stick - i.e. if I play some media after my Silent mode macro has been activate - there is no sound
Same for the Alarm - does not sound if in Silent mode.

If I use the SoundProfile app and send an MacroDroid Intent to it to change the profile, those volumes are sticking i.e. phone does not ring if I have the silent profile selected.
