Change Sound Volume bar to SFX Volume

Currently in KAG there are two volume bars: Sound Volume and Music Volume. Sound volume controls all sounds (including music) while the music volume only controls music.
Instead, the 'Sound Volume' bar should be changed to 'Sound Effect Volume' (or SFX Volume). This bar should only control the sound effect volume, such as footsteps, items, buttons, etc. Even without the 'master' control you can still change the volume but it's done independently.
This would be useful if you wanted quiet sound effects but loud background music, for example. Previously if you lowered the sound volume bar it also lowered the music.

Psst... There is no need for anyone to comment that it's too minor for it to be changed. If the devs have time and like the idea it should be changed imo.

 

I was thinking of that but you will still be able to do that with only two sliders. If you want all volume to be quieter you just lower both sliders down by the same amount.
Only having 2 sliders will also save the devs some time coding since all they would need to do is change what sounds get lowered (yes, I know it's harder than that), rather than also adding an extra bar.

It would still be nifty though.

 

Unfortunately, due to "programming rarely works like you'd expect", it'd be just as much work to add a separate SFX slider as replace the volume slider with an SFX slider. Currently the sound handling is actually a bit of a mess, but the volume slider controls the overall mixer volume, and the music has its own volume on top of that. The SFX all go into the mixer (along with the music) so their volume is only affected by the mixer volume. Adding a separate volume slider for them is possible but not attractive; either way I'll put it on the list but I can't say it'll get any sort of priority.

in my experience you generally either want the game muted, or the music muted so you can put your own music over the top (or you just find it distracting). I'm not sure of a real use-case for just turning down the sound effects but not the music, it's "more flexible" for sure, but not necessarily more useful.

FYI if you've been getting this on your suggestion threads, take it as a hint that maybe you're being a little free with your suggestions or not thinking them through ;)
