I am sure this is a known issue  I just for as long as I have used XFCE I haven't ever had this work properly.

I searched today and found this "fix" 

http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11389

I cannot find a suggestions part of this site , but I would like to see if there is anything I can do to have this work .

Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Thanks

Sorry I didn't add in details. 

Whenever I click on the sound icon in the  sound panel bar and try to open the sound settings , they won't open.. I searched around and found the link below. 

http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11389



judging from  comment #2 

/**
show_sound_settings_dialog:
Bring up the gnome volume preferences dialog
**/
static void
show_sound_settings_dialog (DbusmenuMenuitem *mi,
                            gpointer user_data)
{
  GError * error = NULL;
  if (!g_spawn_command_line_async("gnome-volume-control --page=applications", &error) &&
      !g_spawn_command_line_async("gnome-control-center sound", &error) && 
      !g_spawn_command_line_async("xfce4-mixer", &error))
  {
    g_warning("Unable to show dialog: %s", error->message);
    g_error_free(error);
  }
}



This will never open pavucontrol

Can this be fixed . 


There that looks somewhat passable )

This doesn't actually have anything to do with the pulseaudio plugin - it works as it should. The link you reference is regarding an issue (or an issue that existed a year ago) with the indicator-sound application package (which isn't an Xfce component).

If you are using the xfce4-pulseaudio plugin, make sure that pavucontrol is installed and specified as the "Audio Mixer" in the plugin properties.
