Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-sound
Hi, the volume slider is disabled (grayed) on my system, probably because pulseaudio fails to start on login (still investigating). However even after starting pa manually the slider never becomes enabled, in fact I have never seen it enabled yet. Killing and restarting gnome-panel and/or pulseaudio doesn't help. Once started there are no other obvious problems with pulseaudio and everything in "SoundPreferences" including the slider "Output volume" works as expected.

Okay this does sound likely. The sound service needs to handle pulseaudio either not running properly or disappearing while up. To confirm this:
1. Please ensure PA is running, sound-service" . sound-service" again and ensure the return response is "indicator- sound-service: no process found"
2. Remove the sound-indicator from the panel
3. From terminal run "killall indicator-
4. Run "killall indicator-
5. Then re-add the sound menu to the panel.
It should come back up properly then.
