Hi, it might not be related, but just in case...
I had the same problem once: the volume icon disapeared after I tested a USB headphone on my computer and modified some sound parameters.
I just renamed (not deleted, in case I needed it back) the file config to something else in ~/.config/pnmixer
The icon came back after a restart.

Re: volume icon does not appear

I just installed the stable #!11 Waldorf and also had no volume icon. With some searching I found that the default volume control applet is now pnmixer but autostart.sh still refers to volumeicon. Now, I'm not 100% certain if my autostart.sh is fresh or inherited from an older install. But changing the line with volumeicon to pnmixer and logging out and in again, I now have a volume applet.

At the same time I commented out the line with nm-applet as this is already started by the system and I ended up with two instances of that applet.

Re: volume icon does not appear

IIRC the version of openbox that comes with stable ( which is now Waldorf ! ) uses autostart in stead of autostart.sh.

Re: volume icon does not appear

Ah my bad, I was using old config files. I should not have been lazy. I should have saved my home files, formatted /home, and restored them. Then I would have an up-to-date set of skeleton files.
