I'm presuming the same thing is happening under 6.5.

What is likely happening, along with the change for VZW's DLL icons, is that the icons are only changed in one place on other task bars. For the registry edit I posted to work properly, the icons have to be replaced within the shell dll that has all of the icons in it, and I'm guessing that most taskbars do not replace those icons for sound. I looked at a couple, and the stock icons were still there for volume and they were only replaced within the HTCVolumeControl.dll file, which doesn't matter with the reg edit. Given how long it takes to replace the icons in the files to make a custom taskbar, I don't see why people wouldn't take an extra minute or two to make sure all icons are changed as there are battery icons in the shell dll as well that I don't think most people change either.
