I found the solution!! To get rid of this annoying problem I 'purged' Pulseaudio, restarted my computer, installed pulseaudio again, and after that installed the 'volume indicator'. Sinds then (2-3 months ago) its working perfect!! It never worked for so long, even after a fresh reinstall I had the same problem after a week.
So for those of you who don't understand: sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio -y Restart sudo apt-get install pulseaudio -y sudo apt-get install indicator-sound -y restart Cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059113 Title: [System Product Name, Realtek ALC883, Green Line Out, Rear] Pulseaudio fails to detect card Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: So sound after system start.
