Description

Ever since 2.7, audio became rather too loud after the volume rebalance (it used to be a little on the quiet side previously). If possible it'd be nice to have a volume slider for that core just like we have for NESHawk.

Research direction

Start by finding how NESHawk exposes its volume slider and compare that with SMSHawk's audio path. Trace the relevant desktop UI and core audio handling, then verify that a user-adjustable slider changes SMSHawk output without affecting other cores.
