Konfuzed, You could try pavucontrol from [extra] .
]]>I have GNOME3 running, and I'm missing my volume control when I'm logged in (upper right). The weird part, it's there when I'm at the login screen. I can still hear sounds via internet videos and such, just no control. I have tried adding my user to the audio group which was one of the solutions I found.I was able to get volume controls via terminal, but was hoping to get that control on the panel.
