Bug Description

On RTM 5 with Mako, the keyboard sound is not affected by turning off the main sound. I.e., when putting my phone on 'silent' by turning down the sound all the way, they keyboard 'clicks' still sound when typing on keyboard. Workaround is to disable keyboard sound in System Settings>Sound>Keyboard sounds

The keyboard sound volume should change with the system volume and currently it does not. I believe it's ok to control the keyboard sound on/off by the keyboard sounds setting rather than the silent mode setting, but certainly the output of the volume should change with the system volume level.

This seems to be a duplicate of bug 1498466, we use SoundEffects for the keyboard sounds (necessary to avoid high latency), and the volume of SoundEffects is currently independent from the default system volume.
