I started pavucontrol from the terminal and found that meters work. However, when started from the menu they don't. On further investigation, I found that the desktop file lists pavucontrol-qt rather than pavucontrol as the executable. I am not sure why there are two items called the same thing. In any case it is pavucontrol-qt that exhibits this bug. As kubuntu-desktop depends on pavucontrol-qt I can't even remove it...
