Remember that silent mode here is used only by the 'alert' audio role. The volume slider should still show up when the active role is 'multimedia', 'alarm' or 'phone'.
Ideally the silent mode would just mean a mute for the 'alert' role, but this need further changes in ubuntu-system-settings and a few other places. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu.
