Sound applet has dissappeared

Question

I recently removed and reinstalled pulseaudio and now I can't get my sound applet back on my panel.

Any ideas how to get it back?

Solution 1

Try installing/reinstalling the package indicator-sound:

sudo apt-get install indicator-sound

Also, make sure that PulseAudio Sound System is ticked in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications.

Solution 2

This is bundled into the Indicator Applet. Restore it as follows:

1. Right-click on the menu bar.
2. Select Add to Panel...
3. Select Indicator Applet (or Audio Mixer).
4. Click Add.

The applet appears on the bar.

Solution 3

You may also press Alt+F2 and launch gnome-volume-control-applet command.

That didn't work, I already have my Indicator applet open on the panel. Its properly dissapeared. Is there an option in gconf-editor to turn it off or something as this is what i think could have happened

Sorry, then I don't know. :( If you do a ps ax | grep indicator-applet does it show an active process for it? Try killing it kill -9 1234 (where 1234 is the pid)... Does that prompt you to reload the applet?

That would be the old one without music player controls etc.
