Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-media

If you change the volume through the volume icon, either by clicking it once and dragging the slider or right clicking, going into sound preferences, and then dragging the slider, gnome doesn't make any sound to indicate to you how loud the volume setting is. Unless you already have music playing at the same time, you can't tell if you've set it too loud or too soft. Windows and Mac both do this, and I think it's an idea worth stealing.

Forgot to mention there also isn't a sound when pressing the volume up/down buttons on the keyboard.
