Hi Jay R.
If I'm understanding your issue - The Slider is sending Analog values to the AVR and the AVR feedback is re-seeding the Slider with the real-time value from it.
With Crestron gear I also have not had issues, and in general I wouldn't suspect the Crosspoints. I have had issues with this kind of thing, with AVR volume feedback as my experience is that they are a bit sluggish in the return timing.
I use (2) ABuffers, an Analog one-shot and a NOT.
-Your Analog Ramp values go ultimately to the XP/AVR Volume in (as I suspect you have already)
-the OUTPUTs of both ABUFs go to the XP/Slider FB
-Your Analog Ramp from your slider to the input of ABUF #1, AND to the input of the AOS
-Feedback from your AVR volume goes to the input of ABUF #2
-Output for the AOS goes to the enable of ABUF #1 and the input of the NOT
-Output of the NOT goes to the enable of ABUF #2
-AOS time parameter should be about 1s
The idea is that when you are ramping the volume, The Ramp levels are fed back to your Slider in a very quick fashion so it keeps up.
After you stop ramping (~1s) the ABUF #2 gets enabled and passes thru the AVR's actual volume level so your slider is correct.
HTH...
