This is such a basic UI issue, I cannot believe a product as "mature" as Spotify has not addressed this.
The volume control does not actuate on mouse down: it only applies when the tracker is dragged/scrubbed in either direction, or when the mouse is released. However, it is very normal for a user to expect to choose a relative position in the volume tracking area to mouse down at, listen to the result, and then scrub accordingly to make a finer adjustment. This is currently impossible, because mousing down anywhere has no audible effect whatsoever.
Again, I am floored that a product that has been in production for 14 years does not even have a fully working volume control yet.
