Notes

• A sound category's current volume, mute state or frequency are not stored in savegames. They will be persisted throughout the gaming session. In other words, if you mute a sound category in a script, then load a game that was saved before the mute took place, that sound category will still be muted. Be cautious!

• Using the Mute, SetFrequency or SetVolume functions will mute the given sound category as well as any sound categories contained within it. Here is the hierarchy of sound categories as defined by the vanilla game:
  • Master
    • MUS
    • PausedDuringMenu
      • VOCGeneral
