Hi together,
Actually I have exactly the same problem. After playing a notification, the volume is set to 0 %. And some mp3 files aren´t played at all.
I updated my squeezelite version already to 1.9.0-1119 in a first step and now to the latest (?) version 1.9.6-1198.
Does anybody know if these new version have the issue again or can confirm that they don´t have it? Otherwise I believe the issue is in again. At least I don´t have it when playing notifications via my Windows tablets with Squeezelite-X.
I would also like to try the version 1.8.6, but I don´t know where to get the file from. I need it for running on a Raspberry.
I get following debug logging when successfully playing a file:

Before I forget it, I run openHAB 2.5 and LMS 7.9.1.
Would be great when one could help.
