Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Often, when using Remote Access, it is desirable to only hear the speech and sounds of the computer currently being controlled. For instance, so that changes on the remote computer do not interrupt work on the local computer.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to mute remote when not controlling the remote computer to the Remote Access settings. If this is checked, when switching from controlling the remote to the local computer, Remote Access is muted. When switching back, Remote Access would be unmuted (as is currently the case).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Don't add the feature.

Additional context

This feature is already part of TeleNVDA, and is a popular request from users.
