This is a pretty fresh install of Xubuntu 13.10. The place where sound control used to be in the panel in previous versions now shows a greyed-out speaker and row of dots. It is completely inactive, unresponive, useless.
AFAIK, there is no way for me now to control sound volume internally -- fortunately, my speaker system has its own knob. But it's incoveninent, and an embarrassment to Ubuntu, that I have to use it.

This but was reported against apport because attempts to use ubuntu-bug without a package failed, the choices presented not being related to the problem.
I have no idea what that thingie is, what its name is, or what package its in. Nor do I have any idea how to find out other than reporting this bug and seeing where you put it.
