First I would try a different mouse on the off chance that it is a mechanical/optical pickup failure in your mouse.
If that is the problem you can try taking apart your mouse and cleaning it.

I did not realize how much I did that until it stopped working! For a while now on my system the mouse wheel controls the speaker volume no matter where the cursor is. Also now clicking the mouse wheel pauses the audio (which is handy). . My fingers change the volume by mistake often :) I'd like to get scrolling with the mouse wheel back. Did I unintentionaly change a setting that changes the mouse wheel action? Has there been an "upgrade" to do this? I've searched "Settings" and the web and have not found an explanation.
