I sometimes find the need to tab out of the game to do other things and it would be nice if the sound would shut off and stay off while the game is paused.
Sorry, so I guess maybe I had a fluke going on for a bit there. Not sure at all what happened but it does seem to block the sound when I pause first. Maybe it I had it running too long or something?
But I do wish the music volume of the main menu would mute when the game is in the background. That I can confirm it doesn't do.
