radios squelch/static issue since 2.8

[Rongor]

So far we had to flip all these squelch switches up at cold start to silence any radio static.

Now since the recent patch, if you don't do this, the static is only audible when the ground crew is talking to you or when TSD>MAP>UTIL>INST>ADF is enabled. You will then still have to flip up all the switches to silence the static completely.

Basically if you stand by your checklist and still enable all the squelch switches, you won't ever notice.

Noticed this, as well. Static is no longer audible when dialing up the volume. Checked if squelch is already active, but the switch position had no effect. I noticed a short "static" noise, when I dialed through the range of the volume knob again, but couldn't pin it to a specific position. It only gave me a small burst of static, when dragging the volume knob with the mouse. (Can't better describe it).

- MP mission

- realistic comms

- Hosted myself 

- no SRS or other external voice, only discord

- no in-game voice chat

To reproduce:

- battery on

- start up APU

- mouse drag the Master Volume knob to full 

- try squelch switch positions to on drag the Master volume knob, set squelch to off again (no static) and mouse drag the Master volume knob, again.

Edit: all audio is routed to the headset output, as stereo.

Same issue on the Mirage F1, so maybe it is a DCS issue rather than a Module’s.
