KDE-esque audio control in Ubuntu/Gnome menu bar? or PulseAudio-cum-Gnome integration? [closed]
KDE's volume/audio options on the system bar looks like this. It allows easy management of each application's volume and output. Gnome's system menu only features a volume slider for currently selected audio output. More functionality is found in Settings>Sound. Not only is this inconvenient, it lacks any way to change audio output for each application. You can only select one output at a time, for all applications. To change each audio outputs per application in Gnome, software like PulseAudio Volume Control is required. This is not as convenient and annoying since it's easy to accidentally adjust the wrong settings by scrolling over them.

Ubuntu settings/sounds has the same input, output, application tabs that KDE has when clicking on the speaker icon. What isn't there that you are looking for?

How do I get this (i.imgur.com/KZBbZS8.png) to appear in Ubuntu Gnome then? This is what appears in Kubuntu KDE for me. In Ubuntu, the volume control menu that appears after clicking the volume speaker icon in the top bar, then the settings icon has similar functionality but not half as easy as Kubuntu's setup. @rkeating

Settings then sounds gets you there. It seems like you don't like that. Sorry, I don't have anything else to add then.

Unfortunately, you can't change which audio output each application uses

From your comment, "then the settings icon has similar functionality but not half as easy as Kubuntu's setup" it seems this is an opinion based question. The functionality is same but the design is different.
