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.

, log out and back in and see what happens? The key is one of the default keys in 14.04. possibly yourdconf
database is corrupted. The procedure above forces to recreate it. – Jacob Vlijm Jun 13 '15 at 14:36
