Public bug reported: The Volume Control icon is displayed with red cross. When I click it it says: <snippet> The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. </snippet>
If I click Applications > Sound&Video > Volume Control, I get this: <snippet> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. </snippet> alsamixer gives me this: <snippet> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device <snippet> modprobe snd-hda-intel gives me this: <snippet> WARNING: Error inserting snd_timer
