Factorio Forums

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.

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.

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.
