Thanks for sharing your report here.
We recommend adding a "Stream Deck Connection" trigger to the deck you want to have loaded at startup. This ensures that your deck gets loaded the moment the Stream Deck is connected, and as such will act like a form of "default deck".
It's normal best practices for a Finder Deck to have both a Stream Deck Connection trigger, and an Application Trigger for Finder assigned, for this reason.
I think what happens when you start up is that the Finder trigger won't run until Finder becomes the active app - after SoundFlow has started. The Application Trigger system detects changes in Application focus, so it won't run initially, it would only run if you focus another app and then focus Finder again.
