Please add background sound when Alt+Tab / game is unfocused

Hi,

Could you please consider adding an option to keep the game audio playing when the game is unfocused or when we Alt+Tab?

Before the move from UE4 to UE5, it was possible to keep the sound running in the background. Since the UE5 update, the game becomes completely silent as soon as I Alt+Tab, even when using Windowed or Borderless mode.

This is especially useful for players who solo farm semi-AFK. I often work or browse on my second screen while my character is farming, and I rely on the game sounds to notice when something happens. Without background audio, it's very easy to find the character dead when I click back to the main monitor.

It would be great to have a simple option such as:

☑ Play sound when game is in background

Players who don't want it could leave it disabled, while those of us who rely on audio while semi-AFK could enable it.

Thanks for considering it!

Wow! Thank you so much for adding the background sound feature! It’s a really nice addition and makes the LU4 experience much more immersive. I really appreciate that you listen to the community and keep improving the game. Great work!

 I will definitely recommend this server to anyone who is looking to play Lineage 2.
