IUb sound mod question

[Kissaki]

In the list of improvements I read the following:

Silent Gramaphone sound – For when you need to shut off all music, simply play this file in the gramaphone and it will give you 10 minutes of pure silence. It should be the first file played – to get to the rest of the music just skip ahead one track. Bear in mind any gramaphone randomisers may affect this order.
(data/Sound/Gramaphone/000 1Silence.ogg)

Is the same not accomplished by turning off the gramophone? I mean, there's a stop button, isn't there?

Further, regarding the crew cheering after a Torpedotreffer - not while rigged for silent running, I trust?


I'd find out myself, but I'm stuck with my laptop for another two weeks, and won't be playing SH3 for that duration
