Volume Control/Icon is gone (Ubuntu 10.04)
Q. | After installing Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), my volume control is missing. How can I get it back? |
A. | 1. Right-click on the panel where you'd like the volume controller to appear and select "Add to panel" |
2. Choose "Indicator Applet" from the list and click on "Add" and you're done. The volume control should be back. |
This also works for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)

I changed my login from 'administrator' to 'root'. Now, my login through 'administrator' is also not working.
Recently, I'm not able to hear any sound while playing any sound file.
I do not hear even the star-up sound.
The volume control icon is showing 'mute'mode. I'm unable to set it right. I tried all the tips like
System>Preferences>Startup Applications.
Click +Add, then input:
Name: Volume Control
Command: gnome-volume-control-applet
Comment: Launch volume control applet
Please, help to solve these problems.
Looking forward to a working reply.
But, I couldn't get back the icon on the panel
Plzzz can someone help me...
Thanks.

thank you .....
this is very benefial for me ....
thanx once again...by by
Besides, the volume slider is not vertical, completely opposite to the idiom. Does this mean that Xfce is going the way of Gnome and enforcing stupid defaults that you can't turn off.
FFS, I switched away from Gnome and KDE PRECISELY to avoid such UI-fascism! Do I need to go back to fvwm now?
But I have to ask why isn't the sound control simply called off separately in Add to Panel menu. Indicator applet really doesn't spring to mind when I'm looking for sound volume!
we may also type gnome-volume-control-applet & in terminal to see it teporarily.
& good answer
Spades must be called spades :)

Thanks a lot :-)
Thanks
Not especially intuitive.
thanks
why oh why not just call it Volume, was looking everywhere
its work perfectely
short and clear :p
and also thanks for the tip for removing mail icon, it was annoying that indicator applet comes with mail icon, now I can remove the mail icon so I can have more space in the panel :)
Now it works!
Here is a workaround:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages indicator-me
Tnx man!
Thank you!
sadly did not worked....
thanx in advence
gnome-volume-control-applet to the startup applications (System - Preferences - Startup Applications) using the command :
gnome-volume-control-applet
Log off and log back in to activate, or reboot.
very help full for me
gnome-volume-control-applet
In order to keep it running always, put it on
System - Preferences - Start applications
sudo apt-get install indicator-sound did not help (was already installed) but it does NOT show up in the list of objects to add to the panel! Where can I find it?
Thanks for this
I don't like the new system. You have to remove(/install) packages to configure indicators icons. The different users on a same computer can't make a individual choice!!!
That should get rid of the other indicators, leaving you with just the volume control (as it should be).
- regretting ever upgrading to ubuntu 10.04
Now it's back. It bundled with mail icon, power icon, bluetooth icon and ibus together and looks like they are double spaced.
Mwahest :)

I have a feeling it is missing from the applet, rather than the applet itself is missing.
thanks for the help
1. Close all running applications. Click where the application taskbar icon is and follow the instructions above.
or
2. Switch to a second desktop where you have nothing running.
When done adding it to the panel, right click the "Indicator Applet" and select "move", then move the mouse to position it where you want it. Left click to release.

there seems to be no way to right click the panel in ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix, as there is no chance to click between the different icons, as there is no space between them. tried for like 10 min. anything else i can do to get back an applet for volume control?
and why tie it to evolution? this seems a bit nuts to me.
But any idea how to remove the "Mail" icon, but keep the volume one? They seem to be tied together
