My media control on the touch bar wont work

I've been having a problem, where the media control circle thingy won't respond to tapping it on my M1 13" macbook, i've tried restarting my mac, but it won't work, and that since 6 months! It also can't be an ram issue, since i have the full 16gb. I've also tried to force the touch bar to reset trough the terminal, wich helped, until the next restart. Any idea? Yes, it is system wide.

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

On the M1—If no resolve try SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support to sort anomalies.



if no insight or resolve, I would take it in while under warranty—
