Hello,
The volume applet in the panel (MATE desktop) is there but does not work : if I play a YouTube video for example, I can move the cursor in the panel as much as I want, but the volume stays at the same level. I can only use the cursor on the YouTube video to set the sound level. On my keyboard (HP Pavilion dv6 laptop), there are special keys for setting the volume, and those do not work as well.
Volume control
Re: Volume control
On the panel menus got to System/Preferences/Sound try to change the volume from there. If doesn't work try mixer in terminal.
