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.

  • Hi Sathian, what is the output of gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.sound visible (run in a terminal window). could it be this: http://askubuntu.com/a/477251/72216? – Jacob Vlijm Jun 07 '15 at 18:44
  • Hi Jacob, Thanks for your Answer.I ran the same. Please find the answer I got: sathian@sathian-Lenovo-3000-G530:~$ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.sound visible No such schema 'com.canonical.indicator.sound' – Sathian Thekken Jun 13 '15 at 12:56
  • That is odd! could you (temporarily) rename the directory ~/.config/dconf, log out and back in and see what happens? The key is one of the default keys in 14.04. possibly your dconf database is corrupted. The procedure above forces to recreate it. – Jacob Vlijm Jun 13 '15 at 14:36
