PulseAudio plugin speaker icon hover label now shows extra text

In the system tray section of panel I have PulseAudio plugin speaker icon button.

In XFCE 4.18.x when I would hover mouse cursor over this speaker button and use MSW up/down it would show a popup label right above the button that would show
Volume 50%
This is what I prefer, simple looking label.

Now in XFCE 4.20.x when I hover mouse cursor over this speaker button and use MSW up/down it shows
Volume 50%
Bulit in audio Analog stereo
I do not want the text/information that it shows below the Volume value.

Does anyone know if maybe this is just a setting that can be turned off?
Or was this something that was added to newer version of PulseAudio panel plugin and cannot be turned off (hopefully not true).

Thank You

I have more than one sound output, so this feature is useful for me as it tells me which is the current output.

That is good, I am not saying for it to be removed from XFCE, I agree it does have use.
I was just looking for a way to be able to turn this off just to keep that popup tag as simple as possible, like how it looked in 4.18.x
If anyone knows how this can be done, or is this now hard coded? please let me know.

Thank You
