Some pulse-audio issues can be resolved by resetting your pulseaudio configuration file then logging out and logging in to regenerate it automatically.
mv ~/.pulse ~/.pulse_backup
From your comment - this is exactly the case for your situation :)

I found out that in the login screen, I could change the volume but it was a session issue.
I typed:
sudo chown -R $USER /home/$USER
and restarted. Now I have the control.

I reinstalled PulseAdio beacause I my indicator-sound just disappeared, but it didn't help.
Strangely, I have installed indicator-sound and still don't have that sound control. Nay, I don't even have any settings in "Sound Settings":
I ran "Volume Control PulseAudio" from unity launcher and I got this:
So I ran start-pulseaudio-x11:
$ start-pulseaudio-x11 Connection failed: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
What Can I do to fix it?
