Comment 24 for bug 552221

I had this problem as well. I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic to Lucid today. I had held off on upgrading to Karmic due to the backlight cycling bug in Karmic. Once in Jaunty, I had no volume control and had to find this thread to find out what happened.

The problem with the indicator applet as a volume control is that is also adds the useless (to me) envelope icon which is now wasting valuable space on my relatively tiny netbook screen.
