I ran this command and it indicates I already have the latest version. The
volume icon allows me to change the volume, but there are no links to the
sound settings. If I right click on the volume icon and left click on sound
preferences, I get a dialogue box called System Settings with just Personal
Language Support, Hardware Printers, System Software and Updates. I cannot
choose the type of Output and Input, Balance, Test Speakers, etc., that I
normally can when I install Ubuntu. There are still no Sound Settings in
the Application menu.
