Hey thanks for getting back to me on this. That's a nice suggestion indeed. In fact I used to do that with a smallish laptop sitting on the desk. Later I moved on to tablet. It works great for consuming stuff (to watch a YouTube video, to read others AARs etc.). I think it can be better if it could all be done on one single PC though as there is limited desk space to have 2 fullsized keyboards on my desk (hence the switch from laptop to mini tablet earlier).
I am still hoping -at this point, more like dreaming about- a fix to this problem though so that these long sh4 cruises can be a background task WITH audio.... Web search shows many people had similar requirements/wishes, even for other games, here is one for Mass Effect from 8 years ago:

Too bad Ubisoft devs didn't make this a simple checkbox (or even a .ini setting etc.).
EDIT: found an example of what I was trying to explain earlier, as can be seen in this "answer", in another game engine for example, it is literally a "setting". In this case, it is, how many percent of audio volume do you wish to LOSE when game window loses focus -->

If it was a setting like that, in Silent Hunter 4, we could set it to zero and be done with it
