Any way to set PE15 to not play audio when dragging the timeline marker?

As I drag the timeline marker to quickly scan through a video clip I'm editing, I get the random FF kind of audio. I've never worked with a video editor that played audio when scanning or dragging the timeline marker. Is there a simple preference setting to change that behavior?

Thanks!

    I had never looked.  Under Edit > Preferences > Audio is a check box to turn on audio while scrubbing.  I'm pleasantly surprised.

    My computer has a simple mute button.  I use that.

    Well, I could certainly do that, but my workflow has me dragging, then playing, then dragging, cutting, then playing, etc. Kind of a pain to constantly have to be hitting the mute button on and off.

    I'm not sure why the default is to play the audio when dragging; there's no real practical need for that and other editors all default to being mute while dragging through the timeline.
