I mostly agree with Evan here. Since I do a lot of testing I use different speakers with different computers depending on what test I'm performing and if the OS resumed sound at 100%+++ after switching to my most amplified speakers they'd likely be nothing but rubbish afterwards.

While it's inconvenient to have to open the volume widget it'd be less convenient to have to break out another $100.00 for new speakers :^(

I usually need to push the volume past 100% on a daily basis.
Is not clear to me why we can't do it from the indicator and need to open the settings.
This could be more discoverable. I also see my parents wanting to push volume up.


This was on one of the ubuntu surveys (i think for the volume indicator), so i figured it would be in the works along with a few other things?
I believe pushing the volume past 100% risks permanently damaging your speakers, which is why it isn't discoverable. If 100% is still too quiet, I suggest getting better speakers, since you're already at the max that they can safely produce.



Cheers,
