My Music app in macOS has a bug in the Equalizer during playback

Is anyone else experiencing this? When I play an album in Music (macOS), the first track is usually muted or has a "flat" playback and ignores my playback preset. Backstory: a couple months ago I opened the Equalizer to build a custom sound preset for my Bose bookshelf speakers as well as a preset for my Sony over-the-ear headphones. Now I've noticed lately that the setting(s) get ignored unless I pop open the Equalizer window and manually change it from a built-in preset to my custom preset. Then the sound changes from flat to my custom preset. I can tell because flat usually offers a very bland, midrange sound output. But when my "Bose" preset kicks in, there's a very noticeable, broader dynamic range to my music. Any thoughts?
