the sound-volume indicator disappeard Ubuntu 13.10

Try to re-configure it if already installed

  • Open terminal and execute these commands:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure $(dpkg -l | grep indicator-sound | awk '{print $2}' | tr '\n' ' ')
    sudo update-initramfs -u
    
  • Logout/restart your system and check whether you get the sound indicator

If above doesn't help then try to re-install indicator-sound by executing this command:

sudo apt-get -f install --reinstall indicator-sound indicator-sound-gtk2

Again logout/restart your system.

Reply if you get any error at any particular command with the error message.
