Yep, reading comprehension fail on my part for not seeing the V24/DGE2 callout in the OP.
The next question is to look at what's going on in the system that's different between the two pages and that zone, particularly look for anything generating a high number of transitions -- the behavior described is also possible if the processor is under excessive load, such as a polling loop going wild, etc.

Subject: [Crestron] Re: Strange subpage / join number problem
It's a V24/DG2E on hardwired Ethernet.
The Volume Up/Down buttons are steered to the various rooms by an "Adagio (AES) Large TP Room GUI Interface v2.4" module.
All other rooms act OK on the same buttons.
How can the same button work on 5 rooms, but not on the sixth?
The page doesn't change when you select a different room. The buttons are 'steered' to the next room via the GUI module.
The only thing that changes on the TP page is some indirect text that tells you what room you're controlling.
If you try to control the room (using the same button on the same subpage) from a different page (the Room Setup page vs the Main page), it works OK. If you control the volume directly on the AES, it works OK.

Try sampling the analog going *back* to the panel.
This has solved runaway volume issues several times for me.
Here is one way to do that:
In the simpl program, take the analog feedback signal and run it to a Serial one shot. Also connect that same analog to the input side of Analog Sample symbol.
Connect Serial one shot output to trig of an OSC with hi/lo times of about a tenth of a second. OSC out is the enable for analog sample symbol. Sample out is now the feedback for the touch panel.

What type of panel & what communication method (Infinet EX, WiFi, Cresnet, Wired Ethernet)?
It sounds like intermittent communication between the panel and the processor, so that the processor sees the "press" but the receipt/processing of the "release" is delayed.
Historically, panels have only sent a "Press" (Low-to-High) and "Release" (High-to-low) signal to the processor (e.g. "Button 301 Is Pressed", "Button 301 is Released" this lead to some "fun", especially on WiFi, where if the panel got out of range a ramp would continue until it hit the limit.
Newer panels cope with this by sending the press periodically as long as the button is held and the gateway knows if it doesn't see the press within that period of time it should do the "release" itself -- but this doesn't solve the problem of "overshooting", it just keeps you from overshooting so far that you blow up gear [in theory]

Subject: [Crestron] Strange subpage / join number problem
I have a project that is using an AV2, an AES, iServer, V24/DGE2 and a ton of lighting stuff. The initial program was written in SB (never again), but due to a huge number of problems SB generated, I had to repair it in SIMPL.
I've got everything working except for one vexing issue.
The system has 6 audio zones on the AES. On one of the zones (Family Room) the volume controls act weirdly. If you try to lower the volume even slightly, it will ramp down to about 35%, then suddenly drop to zero. When you try to turn it back up, it will ramp back up to about 35% by itself. If you try to increase the volume again, it will jump up to about 75%.
The startup volume level is set to 45%, so it's not recalling that.
All the various rooms use the same volume buttons (on the same Volume subpage), and they all use the same inputs on the same Adagio module in SIMPL.
Just to confuse things a bit more, if you go to the Room Setup page (which has the same Volume Subpage on it), the same volume buttons work normally in the Family Room.
Any ideas? How is this even possible?
