Pretty much what the title says. As cool as this site is to make and play fan cases is, one of my biggest gripes has been putting up with the audio. AAO doesn't have a dedicated volume slider, and its only option is to mute the whole thing, forcing me to either turn down the volume for my browser or my computer entirely. The text blips especially are the biggest problem since those are very loud and repetitive.
By contrast, Attorney Online (the roleplaying one) allows you to change the volumes of the music, sounds and blips, and I typically have the blips down very low.
While it's ultimately a minor thing in the context of the whole site, it'll be a HUGE quality of life improvement in my opinion.

Doable in principle. Do you have any thoughts on where these objects would live, on the player page?

On the right in the settings tab.

Re: [P] Change volume of music, sfx and text blips independently
I would like to second this idea. Being able to lower the text volume would be a massive game changer for me. Don't get me wrong, the little noises the characters make when talking is charming, but it gets overwhelming to listen to it for hours and hours. I honestly really wish I could make it quieter or turn it off.

Re: [P] Change volume of music, sfx and text blips independently
Suggestion for this suggestion: maybe have these show up as sliding bars with a field on the right side for users who want to set a specific volume percentage? That would allow for fine-tuning for users who want/need it.
Basic example:
Music: ------------||---- [ 75 ] %
SFX: ----------------|| [ 100 ] %
Voice: --------||-------- [ 50 ] %
