Intro sound, being very loud..?

So im probably not the only one whos had this problem with DE, even on release. The intro sound of when you start AoE:DE with the logos n all that, is just absurdly loud and its no way to mute it? On the volumemixer you have 1 for the game and 1 for whatever else, which you cant mute unless you’ve opened the game and tried not to break your ears while spamming space to skip the intro. I mute and turn down the intro thing, but it keeps resetting back to 100% every time, same with the one for ingame sound, right back to full.

can you fix or is there a way to avoid it when youre not prepared or whatever?
