It looks like pulseaudio is not running on your system.

[Elfy (elfy)]

not sure about that - I can certainly control everything with pavucontrol

certainly seems to be running

hob 19292 0.0 0.0 16664 2136 pts/1 S+ 17:37 0:00 grep --color=auto pulseaudio

I did at one point notice a segfault for indicator-sound in dmesg

This morning's boot from kern.log

Booting with a livesession of vivid - get the same.

No sound indicator.

Pulse is running.

fix for bug 1411959 seems to have fixed this too it seems
