Screenshot of problematic part of the panel

For a HiDPI monitor, the size of the top panel was increased. Unfortunately, the space (width) for the sound preference icon wasn’t increased, as can hopefully seen on the attached screen shot.

What type of sound preference icon is this?
Also, is it a tray-icon? (aka part of the "Notification area")

Sorry types are there?

I think so, but it looks like you might have missed the screenshot. If not, please tell me, how I can find out the answers to your questions.

There are a lot of different audio mixer applications, e.g. xfce4-mixer (now semi-deprecated), pavucontrol (for pulseaudio) or alsamixergui.
Which one are you using? (Otherwise I can't try to reproduce your problem)

I did look at the screenshot, but the screenshot does not show in what part/plugin of the panel this audio mixer application is being shown.

I am sorry, but it looks like this is actually the GNOME Sound Applet. And an old one.

```
$ gnome-sound-applet --version
gnome-sound-applet 3.0.0.1
$ grep OnlyShowIn /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-sound-applet.desktop
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;
```

Adding Xfce’s audio mixer (xfce4-mixer-4.11.0-0.x86_64) applet to the panel seems to work fine.

gnome-sound-applet has been dropped from Ubuntu a long time ago, I don't think this will be easy for me to reproduce.
In any case, I would close this bugreport as it is about an unmaintained piece of software. If you encounter this very problem with another up-to-date/maintained application please re-open the report. Thanks!

Thank you for the explanation and help. I agree, that closing this report is the right way.
