 When I have all sounds (music + speech + FX) on, I can mute everything by
 pressing CTRL + U hotkey, and then bring it all back by repeating it.
 Works fine.

 But when I first press CTRL + U to mute, then go to the game menu by
 pressing ESC, then return to game, and then press CTRL + U to unmute, both
 music and FX return, but speech does not. It is and remains muted, and can
 be restored only by going to the sound menu and raising the level up from
 zero.

 I can repeat this over and over again, so it's not a one time thing.
 I am using Windows 10, latest ScummVM Windows release, and English
 language Broken Sword download from GOG. I have also tested the latest
 development build, and the same behaviour is present there.

 I haven't tested any other games to see if this is a general issue, or
 specific to Broken Sword 1.

 I tried to see if there are similar issues reported, but the only thing I
 could find was a very old ticket: "#4931 SWORD1: Mute setting does not
 work". It's a bit similar, but still a different situation.
