Volume control missing

Hey all, I have a somewhat fresh install of Arch running here on my laptop.  I have encountered an issue and am not sure what to do.  I have searched like crazy last night trying to find a solution and nothing.  I'm kind of newbie to the Arch style, but willing to learn.  It's my hobby when Winblows isn't required for work. wink

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.

Re: Volume control missing

You can control with alsamixer. Install it if you don't have it already. I'm not an expert on gnome so I don't know if you simply need to add a sound control widget or what. But alsamixer (or gnome alsamixer if you want a gui) should get you in control of your sound card.

Re: Volume control missing

since OP is using gnome3, his sound system is very likely using pulseaudio. I doubt alsamixer will help much.

Konfuzed, You could try pavucontrol from [extra] .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
