**Describe the bug**  
I have a "mute" touch bar button and a volume slider widget on the touch bar. If I change my volume via the menu bar, then the slider updates in realtime. However, when I press the mute button on the touch bar, my volume does actually mute, but the slider does not update.

**Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):**  
Macbook Pro Touch Bar

**Device information:**

- Type of Mac: Macbook Pro 15"
- macOS version: 10.13.6
- BetterTouchTool version: 2.643
