When I use skype I have 2 scrollbars for the sound:

enter image description here

How can I keep those 2 scrollbars all the time, and not only when I have skype conversations? When I don't talk with skype, only speaker scrollbar is visible.

Edit1:

Here's an output of sudo updatedb; locate -r indicator-sound-service$:

  1. Download build dependencies and source

    sudo apt-get build-dep indicator-sound
apt-get source indicator-sound

  2. Change src/volume-control.vala

    Modify default from false to true:

    /** true when a microphone is active **/
public bool active_mic { get; private set; default = true; }

    Comment line that sets hiding variable using //:

                case Context.SubscriptionEventType.REMOVE:
                //this.active_mic = false;
                break;

  3. Build and install

    cd indicator-sound-12.10.2+14.04.20140313/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

  4. Kill running indicator-sound-service or Logout/login

    pkill -f indicator-sound-service

show mic always in sound indicator popup

Note:

For some reasons, you may want to skip sudo make install or didn't work, then just replace the executable:

sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service
sudo cp src/indicator-sound-service /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service
pkill -f indicator-sound-service
user.dz
