I have unsuccessfully searched this forum and the internet with DuckDuckGo for a solution.
The volume control icon in the notification area of my XFCE panel has disappeared. In Add New Items the Notification Area is there but grayed out so I can not add a new one or modify my current one. I added PulseAudio Plugin but prefer the XFCE Volume Control. Has the PulseAudio Plugin replaced the XFCE plugin? If not, how do I get the XFCE one back?
