I just retested on latest profiling. No repro again.
I even set the volume to 0 to be sure that I'm not just not noticing a very slight difference.
But nope, after Esc'ing out of the dialog audio is still at 0.

Okey I got repro. The issue is with the "Refresh" audio button, or simply changing your output device.
I debugged all our volume parameters and found that we send the exact same volume to the XAudio API that we use to play back our sounds.
So after a reset we provide the same input parameters, but that API decides to double the volume for whatever magic reason that I can't seem to find.
So this bug will probably stay for a while
