How to disable mute on loss of focus
Absolutely loving what I've played of Helium Rain so far. I started playing today and managed to accidentally sink 7 hours into the game. Whoops :D

One thing that drives me up the wall is when games automatically mute on loss of focus. This makes the game less enjoyable when multitasking, and kinda makes the game look bad alt+tabbing to adjust settings or interact with chat when streaming.

For anybody who would prefer to mute things manually when needed than have the game assume when is/isn't the right time, you can add the following two lines to Engine.ini

[Audio] UnfocusedVolumeMultiplier=1.0

Where Engine.ini is located depends on your platform. For those of us on Linux, it'll be here:
~/.config/Epic/HeliumRain/Saved/Config/LinuxNoEditor/Engine.ini

If you're on Windows, it'll probably be somewhere like:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\HeliumRain\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

No probs! Glad to have a workaround to share :)

For future games, if you're inclined to add an in-game option for this, it'd be very welcome!
