Research direction

Start by locating the controller overlay implementation and the existing mute action. Trace how overlay controller inputs are handled, then determine how volume decrease and increase should adjust audio gain. Done means the overlay exposes both actions and they change the audio level as requested; verify them using the project’s existing controller-overlay testing or manual run path.
