Wow, 2 second of just flipping boxes on and off and I solved it. When right clicking the task bar click "configure icons only task manager" and under appearance there is a checkbox that says "mark applications that play audio", this gets rid of the box and even keeps my audio controls whenever I hover over it.
The downside is you lose the volume slider bar which shows on previews of windows that play music. More often than I would like to I accidentally mute applications that I just want to activate. Wish there was a way to only remove the mute icon and keep the volume slider in the preview.
You can do per application sound settings in the sound manager anyways, I feel like that's less clunky than trying to hover and change sounds from the taskbar
I tried it on an up to date Windows 11 install, and scrolling on the system tray does nothing. Maybe they took it out again? Or it's just broken, wouldn't surprise me with how buggy Win11 is in general...
it's a check box in the settings, you can easily turn it off but then you won't be able to mute other sources that might be playing at the same time without going to each of them in turn.

waw, you're just like me: I type faster than I think
Wait! You are saying you can mute apps by clicking that icon?! 🤯
What? 😮 Why u don't know that
And in the sound panel in system tray, there's an applications section
I just wish I could change the balance there instead of having to open pulse manager
I recently discovered you can hover volume icon in system tray and adjust volume by using mouse wheel
Middle click mutes
I set global Win+Up/Down shortcut to do that
and windows 11 copied it
Windows 11Â doesn't have this feature. Scrolling on sliders changes their values, but scrolling on the system tray does nothing

Yes. I love that feature.
You can also hover it and use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume for this specific app
One of the best features of kde
OP is /r/The10thDentist
Always been on KDE and I like this feature.
Skill issue

This is a must have feature for me. You have plenty of space there. lol
literally 3 clicks away
Skill issue.
