Hi!

I think the sound menu would benefit from checkboxes - the same way splitters have them when it comes to belt priorities.

This way I wouldn't have to change the volume of music every time I want to just switch it off for example.

You're doing an amazing job, thank you!

Hello,

do you have in mind a "mute" checkbox next to each volume slider?
We were thinking about something like that in the past but we didn't come to any conclusions. In general, we don't want cluttered settings. A mute checkbox is just a shortcut to setting a volume to 0, I'm not convinced it's worth cluttering the GUI for that.

Btw, there is a keyboard shortcut (unbound by default) for pausing music.

Bilka made a great point that having a mute checkbox could preserve the preferred volume setting for when you want to un-mute again.

With that in mind I think it might be worth it adding the checkboxes.

Implemented for the next release, 2.0.36.
