Settings not writing back to radio

Hi, I've been having multiple issues with the Companion application while using it with my 9XR Pro. I'm using 2.1 latest nightly on Windows 8.1.

Initially I was getting errors while trying to save back to the radio; some problem with temporary files. I've downloaded the latest 2.1 nightly and I am no longer seeing any errors writing settings back; however it still doesn't work. It'll read the settings correctly and let me make changes.
When I write the settings back it all appears to work okay. If I leave the radio in bootloader mode it even appears to re-read the settings keeping the changes I have made. This lasts until I boot the radio. Once booted I can see that none of the settings have saved. I've tried updating the bootloader (now 1.5), running the program as admin etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit 1: This seems to be a problem with the 2.1 firmware. I've had chance to downgrade to 2.0.17 and the settings are saving correctly. Another issue I noticed is that the sounds played under 2.1 are all garbled; yet with 2.0 the play fine.

Edit 2: I've found the GitHub issue tracker and there's a report there already for this problem. Although not one that I can see for the poor sound quality.
