Sound & Broadcast Icons Missing?

  • 772

I had the sound icon in the main menu bar up top, along with the default Broadcast icon up there. All of a sudden they are missing and I can't find them. I can't find them in the Add to Panel menu either. How do I get them back?

    It sounds like you're missing the "Indicator Applet". It should be available from the Add to Panel menu.

  2. It's likely that you've removed the indicator applet from your panel. Right click on the panel, and select Add to Panel, then search for the indicator applet.

    Note: I've blurred out the non-default entries I have in my menu so not to confuse.

  3. Sound should be under Indicator Applet.

  4. You just have to right click on the panel and choose Add to panel... Then scroll down until you find the applet called Indicator Applet. Just add it and the controls/menus should be back.
