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,
