Bug Description

[The bug]
In System Settings -> Sound, the "Output volume" gauge reacts in opposite direction on the mouse wheel scrolling. That is, scrolling in the direction away from you leads to DECREASE of the volume, while it is natural to expect increase. Moreover, the sound indicator behaves well, as expected. Thus, the volume gauge in System Settings and the gauge in the sound indicator react differently on the mouse wheel scrolling.

[How to reproduce]
1. Hover the mouse pointer over the sound indicator.
2. Scroll the wheel in the direction AWAY from you. The volume INCREASES. This is correct expected behaviour.
3. Open System Settings -> Sound, hover the mouse pointer over the "Output volume" gauge.
4. Scroll the wheel in the direction AWAY from you.

[What is expected]
The volume should increase.

[What happens]
The volume DECREASES.
