Lucid missing volume control symbol?

[cybrsaylr]

Upgraded to Lucid and there is no volume control on the upper panel just to the left of the date calendar/time like there was on Karmic and earlier versions. Searched but can't find it. How can I put it back on the upper panel? It looked like a speaker with sound waves coming out of the speaker. I always used it on other versions before.

Same problem here. Looking for it in right click on task bar and choose add to panel. It's not there. Now what?

It's part of Indicator Applet now whch means you'll have the "envelope" whether you like it or not. I use just one panel at the bottom, look next to my clock:

If I clicked "about" it's indicator applet! Really

kansasnoob,
Thanks got it back up there as before. I see what you mean about having to accept the envelope also, which I would rather delete. Oh well, at least the volume can easily be controlled again....

I found this in another thread and it works great. No unnecessary envelopes:

go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications

in the startup tab, look for 'Volume Control' and check it if its unchecked.

If its not there, 'Add' it using the following parameters:

Name: Volume Control
Command: gnome-volume-control-applet
Comment: Show desktop volume control

...and then restart...

Worked perfect for me. Much better than the 'Indicator Applet'. Thanks.
