I can not reproduce this issue. I have turn on my audio controls by double-clicking the speaker, then click "select controls" for alsa, then select pulse audio, "select controls" for master. Then I can control the volume. I can then right-click the speaker, select properties, choose what I am controlling to use the volume control. This is the same way I have using the volume control in Xubuntu for at least 4 releases now.
If you are trying to control the volume without choosing what to control, it does not work in Xubuntu. -- Volume control panel item shows zero volume even if volume is nonzero https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
