xubuntu no volume control

[Brian Avery]

After installing xubuntu on my vostro 1400 laptop, I added the volume control plugin to xfce4-panel. Then I modified /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, adding the line "options snd_hda_intel model=3stack" in order to get my speakers working, and rebooted. Upon logging back into xfce, the volume control has dissapeared plugin has dissapeared. When I run xfce-panel through the terminal, the output is as follows:

The program 'xfce4-mixer-plugin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 201 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
** Message: Volume Control: screen changed: 0

** Message: No valid plug window.
