 			Name of the current device for audio output (see [method get_output_device_list]). On systems with multiple audio outputs (such as analog, USB and HDMI audio), this can be used to select the audio output device. The value [code]"Default"[/code] will play audio on the system-wide default audio output. If an invalid device name is set, the value will be reverted back to [code]"Default"[/code].

 			Controls how fast or slow the in-game clock ticks versus the real life one. It defaults to 1.0. A value of 2.0 means the game moves twice as fast as real life, whilst a value of 0.5 means the game moves at half the regular speed. This also affects [Timer] and [SceneTreeTimer] (see [method SceneTree.create_timer] for how to control this).
+			[b]Note:[/b] This does not affect audio playback speed. Use [member AudioServer.playback_speed_scale] to adjust audio playback speed independently of [member Engine.time_scale].
+			[b]Note:[/b] This does not automatically adjust [member physics_ticks_per_second], which means that with time scales above 1.0, physics simulation may become less precise (as each physics tick will stretch over a larger period of engine time). If you're using [member Engine.time_scale] to speed up simulation by a large factor, consider increasing [member physics_ticks_per_second] as well to improve physics reliability.
