Simply adjusting the slider while making certain sound effects to try and find the right volume, mainly walking sound effects as well as a few different skill sound effects. It had no effect on them whatsoever.

The workaround I found to the general sound issue may be related somehow. I've found that the game is somewhat remembering my sound settings after closing the game now. I say somewhat because the sound effects are an appropriate volume for what I previously set it to (even though my volume mixer still displays default volume when sigrogana opens), but music is playing at the noticeably louder default volume. I can use the music slider to get this where I want it in game while at that default system volume so there's no issue on my end now, but I figured that weird disconnect of my sound effect volume being at my chosen system volume setting while music returns to default every time I start the game might be related.
