When set to the regular MacBook Pro Speaker output, the volume controls on the Touch Bar grey out and cannot be used. If I expand the Touch Bar menu I am able to use the buttons, but those are also greyed out despite them working. The main issue is that the slider doesn't work which is what I usually use. If I switch my output to an external speaker, I am able to adjust regularly.

I found a post that mentions that is a but in Catalina, I tried this and resolved the problem:
"When the "Enable slow keys" are enabled (system preferences -> accesibility -> keyboard) the volume controls (maybe other control keys too?) on the touchbar do not work. "

This worked for me, is it working as designed or is it a bug?
