Disable audio auto-ducking

OtherSafe riskReversible

Sets UserDuckingPreference = 3 ('Do nothing') so Windows stops automatically lowering game/media volume when communication activity is detected (e.g. a call). Removes a source of audio volume swings during gaming. Per-user; reversible (exact snapshot).
