I recently upgraded to 14.04 from 12.04. doing the correction of audio, I stopped getting the audio icon itself. Now it is not shown from the top right corner(it was being shown when ubuntu instatlled). Also, now I am seeing only 4 icons in All settings window of Ubuntu. Audio setting icon is not there in system settings ( all settings ) window too.

The key is one of the default keys in 14.04. possibly yourdconfdatabase is corrupted. The procedure above forces to recreate it. – Jacob Vlijm Jun 13 '15 at 14:36
