This will not solve your problem but you might find it a good alternative:

When you slide the volume control with the mouse, it makes a sound.

So open the full mixer, rather than the volume control, and turn the
system sounds level down to zero, then you can drag the volume slide all
you like and it won't make a 'ding' when you release it ...

Paul, it's the normal behavior of the System Tray volume control. It
helps you decide whether you like the setting that you made.

Do you plan to fix it, or have you gotten used to it being like that?

While I was able to use the control panel to change sound themes, and
test the individual sounds with the test button, and hear them in the
headphones I was testing with, I couldn't get any sound output from
moving any sliders.
And fixing that, isn't a priority, as most of the time I operate the
laptop using its horrible built in speakers, and you can't tell
the difference between one sound and another with those. Missing
an alert now and then, isn't a big deal.
That's why I use the headphones when testing - the sound is great
that way. But I won't be using headphones during normal usage. And while
I have a spare set of amplified speakers, it's too much trouble to
set those up. It wouldn't be a very "portable" setup that way.
(The amp portion, is home made.)

I have the definitive answer to this!
Get a keyboard with the added extras at the top. I think most have them
these days. And then you can leave the system sounds unchanged, and
adjust the volume from the keyboard.

Which "added extras?" I have a Microsoft keyboard with buttons for
"Mail," "Search," "Favorites," etc., but I don't see anything about
volume or sound.

Just go shopping for a keyboard that has the sound option then.

Right then, this just for you.
Turn system volume all the way up; use speaker volume button to adjust
as required.

I read your posts that mentioned that, but only after I posted the
above. But I think it really is the normal behavior, as Char
implies[1].
I do realize that it annoys the OP, and maybe it would annoy you too,
but I have no idea how to change that behavior, sorry.

The definitive answer requires getting a new keyboard? I think not.
