SCUMM: Game Settings Volume Controls for Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken for Amiga are not honored whatsoever

Description

As I possess the actual Amiga, DOS, and Atari ST floppies of all those LucasArts games ever released and have created disk images via my Greaseweazle floppy combo drive setup, I would like to inform you of an inherent bug involving both Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken for the Amiga on ScummVM. (BTW I am currently looking into purchasing an Atari ST version of Maniac Mansion on eBay to add to my current LucasArts floppy disk collection, and they ain't cheap!)

Whenever I override the global volume settings for those two games via the game settings page, and when I boot up either game, it doesn't honor those overridden volume settings whatsoever and it plays very loud. I always have to turn down my Windows sound volume every time I wanna play either one of those two games, and it's purely annoying. I would like you to look into this problem and apply the fix to a future daily build whenever possible.

As for Indy3, Loom, Monkey Island 1 & 2, and Atlantis on Amiga, they fully honor the game settings volume override settings; whereas Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken don't.

Any progress on resolving this issue by any chance? I'd love to see this fixed in a future daily build so I can enjoy my legit purchased Amiga floppy disk game data sets of both Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken with the ability to lower the volume from within ScummVM and not have to lower it via my Windows 11 Pro volume settings.

It's been almost half a year and this bug I mentioned hasn't been fixed at all, can you please look into it so it can be applied to a future daily build? Thanks in advance!
