When using the SoundID app, the output volume is lowered for audio quality purposes. One of the main reasons - you should have as little compression as possible, but we're also concerned that sound processing will introduce quality loss (clipping, sound artifacts, etc). In order to provide a signature experience while using SoundID, we are using smart technology to improve your audio listening and bring it to the next level.
With this being said, we are looking into future updates that should improve your audio listening experience even further without making any compromises on end-quality.

Volume remains lowered even after turning SoundID off. Also, the headphone profile and the SoundID on/off state should be associated with a given (bluetooth) device, as it makes no sense to keep SoundID on and with a specific headphone profile when sound will no longer be played on its correspondent device.
sound quality is bad
Disappointing that this issue has not been prioritised. My daw output volume is fine via usb3 jack connection to headphones. But using sound id at full volume is still not loud enough to use. I am having to add a lot of extra gain on the mix bus which I then have to take off afterwards. Really makes the whole usability of sound id quite poor.
