I have a ZED24FX and for some of the channels the mute button will be in the up position, but still mute the channel. When I wiggle around the physical button it’s self the signal will crackle in and out so I’m assuming there’s something wrong with the buttons… the rest of the channel works great luckily

If I de-solder the mute buttons on the individual channels, is it possible to bypass them altogether by bridging the connections?

Why not replacing the faulty buttons?
