I does not help you, but i cannot reproduce this on my XA2. I start the media player, choose a song and start it. When I change the volume by pressing the volume control it changes. Is it only the media player with this behavior or also other apps (browser, calls etc.)?

#3

You could try to execute the command
version --dup
on the command line, maybe there are still some packages missing or are not up-to-date.

The audio bar was always missing.

#5

that hint was helpful: version --dup didn’t change anything, but
pkcon refresh
pkcon update

After a reboot the volume bar shows up again and the volume can be changed again.

thanks a lot
