Left clicking in this scenario is also very difficult. I first noticed this yesterday when I couldn't switch to a tab as all my clicks simply muted the audio, I didn't know what was happening, I thought the browser was broken as I didn't know this was a feature.

I don't know how this should be addressed, but I know I personally have no use case for clicking the speaker icon to mute a tab. It's an inefficient and awkward way to mute sounds. I personally have extensions to allow me to mute sounds via keyboard shortcuts (e.g. stream keys).
