Comment 13 for bug 387874

For this to be addressed, it should be fixed in 9.04.

Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.10 both use different sound applets so what you are seeing in karmic is not a fix, it is a replacement applet.

This is a very small bug. If you use your scroll wheel on the applet icon it works fine, but if you click the applet icon and then use the scroll wheel on the volume bar, it is reversed (does not work as expected). Up should be Vol+ and down should be Vol- for it to be intuitive to users.

Attached is the requested screenshot.
