[Performance] GGG: Set Sound Volume to false, not 0, when slider is all the way to the left

Hi,

could GGG devs make it so, that the volume is not 0, but actually "false" (in the config) and thus not actually a process to be processed by the CPU, if one turns the specific volume slider all the way to the left?

Thus, more people would come to benefit from this resource trick for older machines: actually disabling some of the sound option. Not just putting volume to 0.

See also the launch option "--nosound" from the Wiki[1]. And the 3-year-old trick that was discovered to change 0s into "false" in the config.[2]


Thank you very much in advance,

---

A simple Powershell script for Windows user is as follows:
