I started my Laptop with Linux Mint, then started factorio via steam desktop icon.
Steam updated factorio from 2.0.7 to 2.0.8 and showed the changelog.
I noticed that the GUI effect sounds (the bing when you click a button) where audible. I know I set them to 0% volume in the game settigng.
I opened Settings-> Sounds and the volume slider was on 0% for GUI effects.
I adjusted the GUI effects slider to about 10% and confirmed with the green button. Result the volume of the GUI effects was reduced.
Then I set the GUI effects volume slider to 0% again. And the GUI effect sound where off again.
I expected that the GUI sound where off.

Re: [2.0.8] GUI effect sound after update, ingoring actuall 0% volume
Further investigation:
I restarted my laptop and started factorio via the steam desktop icon. And the GUI effects are audible again.
When I go to Settings-> Sound the GUI effects slider ist still on 0%.
The exact same happens on my separat installation (non steam) for VSCode. On version 2.0.7 and 2.0.8
Just noticed I don't have to restart the computer for the problem to happen, just closing Factorio and starting it again triggers the problem.

Re: [Donion] [2.0.8] GUI effect sound after update, ingoring actuall 0% volume
Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in 2.0.9.
In the meantime note that once going into a game, the volume setting will be applied, the issue is only on start in the main menu when background simulations are off.
