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.
