it should be illegal for games to force unpausable audio before presenting a volume slider. (hexbear.net)

its fine ill just lose my hearing when launching your game while being unable to change the volume - forcing me to quickly alt tab, change program specific volume, and alt tab back before missing anything. latest example i put the game at 1% system volume and its still loud...

for reference, my entire system volume is set to 50% by default.

spamming start after launching every Souls game because for some reason they only load profile settings after the start prompt even though every single console the games have been made for have had OS-level user profiles going all the way back to Demon's Souls so there's never been a reason not to read the save file at launch since it's user specific anyway

it's fine I'll just get my ass blown out by the first second of menu music until the end of time I guess thanks FromSoft

My solution: Mute audio until after the start screen.
