I've lost access to sound widget after a few updates on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. I'm attaching a screenshot of my notification bar. Notice that there is no sound icon to adjust sound. The feature has not completely broken, its missing in the bar. I can still access it using settings > sound.

What I have already tried : 1. restarting Ubuntu system 2. killing Unity

Please help how to get the sound widget back.

Someone proposed a solution for a similar problem here: the sound-volume indicator disappeard Ubuntu 13.10

To resume, you can check if indicator-sound is installed and try to reconfigure it or re-install it.

  • I've got this problem corrected. Basically there is a small tick mark in the sound settings panel that says "show sound in system tray". Due to some update it got unticked (note : canonical must be careful of the updates they are releasing). After I found the problem, I was able to check it again. This effectively solved the problem – Prasana Ramesh May 12 '14 at 03:05
