Bug description
Every once in a while, clicking the icon with either a speaker or music note fails to pull up the volume control. I can get around this by pinning "sound" to the bottom panel, which also gives me control over the volume, but I figured it was still a good idea to report this to the developers.
Steps to reproduce
You typically have to leave mint on for a while for the icon to stop working properly, and rebooting fixes it.
Expected behavior
Clicking the icon should pull up the volume control.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure after leaving Mint running, using the bottom-right speaker or music-note icon described in the report. Compare its behavior with the pinned “Sound” control and verify whether rebooting restores the volume popup. Done means the icon consistently opens the volume control after extended uptime.
