when playing vrchat. I noticed my robot bappers were louder. muting avatar sounds did not change anything but muting the world sounds did.

> Avatar audio is controlled by the correct volume slider again.

This is bad for us meme streamers, we don't wanna turn up world audio just to get blasted by world sounds and maybe copyrighted music, hope it gets fix asap

Avatar sounds play regardless of safety settings.

I have configured my safety settings to block avatar sounds from non-friends.
However, I have confirmed that avatar sounds from non-friends can still be heard. (This sound was stopped by hiding the avatar.)

Avatar Audio Suddenly Quieter

Avatars that usually had decently loud, or even normal volume, are now suddenly quieter. Volume slider for avatars is set to 100%, and yet avatars audios are now quieter.

Avatar Audio is weirdly tied to the World Audio Slider, not the Avatar Volume Slider.

The Avatar Audio is weirdly tied to World Volume, and not to the respected Avatar Volume Slider. This is probably the weirdest thing I've ever experienced during my 7 years of being on VRChat.
Steps For Recreation:
Open VRChat > Set World Volume to 0% > Use An Avatar that has avatar audio & play avatar audio > The result is that no avatar audio will play.

In the latest build 1836 avatar audio is tied to the world volume slider.
uhhh..... yeah that's it
Not tested on other platforms just pc as far as I know but I assume other would be impacted.
