Summary0024353: Sound gets quieter and menu BGM plays twice when you reload data files after enabling/disabling mods.
DescriptionEach time you reload the data files after enabling or disabling mods, the audio gets quieter and the menu theme layers on top of itself. Starting a new game or loading a save does not bring the sound back up to normal levels.

Restarting the game fixes this.

Thanks!

* Fixed a bug where when you hot-reloaded the mods or expansions, it would make for doubling or tripling of the music background track, and also make all the volume progressively more quiet each time. This is because of us reloading the sound root and volume mixer, and that's just incredibly fraught as a thing to do.
** Normally the sound mixer and root themselves are not something that would be modded, but in the event that someone chose to do that, we no longer support hot-reloading those particular things. Whatever the sound root and mixer are at the time the game is launched are the ones that will stay until you restart the program (whether it's a mod version or our main version).
** Again, we really can't think of any possible reason to create a new sound mixer or sound root, since actually doing adjusting the mix is possible without that step, so this is probably entirely moot other than fixing this bug itself.
