Finally solved this problem

go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications

in the startup tab, look for 'Volume Control' and check it if its unchecked.

If its not there, 'Add' it using the following parameters:

Name: Volume Control
Command: gnome-volume-control-applet
Comment: Show desktop volume control

...and then restart...

this is from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470635

I finally found this searching for "ubuntu remix volume control
missing"  Whatever words I used to search initially were not yielding
the above stated result.
