What’s your take on Windows 11 adding the ability to adjust volume with the mouse wheel? Let us know in the comments below. If you’re a Linux user, one more reason for you to be proud of. The feature actually exists on Linux already. The feature can be seen in the GIF attached below.

Going forward, you neither need to click on the Volume icon nor open Quick Settings, you have to hover the mouse over the Volume icon and require using mouse wheel scrolling to adjust the sound. The Redmond firm has addressed the feature request In the Windows 11 build 22478. The problem is caused by a mouse with a wheel, where the wheel can be used to reduce sound volume but, in this case, gets carried away and does it all the time. The desire to have this functionality has been passed along to the engineering team for further consideration” “The ability to scroll anywhere to adjust the volume slider is displaying is not currently supported. When the request was filed, Microsoft said “Since Quick Settings has the ability to show sliders (brightness and volume), currently you need to specifically hover over the one you would like to adjust on the mouse scroll wheel.” The feedback has been upvoted with 297 votes.
