No sound notification in KDE Plasma Desktop

I installed the KDE plasma desktop yesterday on my Ubuntu 14.04 system. The environment has been working quite well up until now.

However, I just noticed that there was no Sound notification icon in the panel.

Although the sound seems to be working, it's very faint. Even after adjusting the volume from System Settings->Notifications->Player Settings and increasing it to 100% the sound remains faint.

How do I restore the notification area sound indicator and fix the volume problem?

P.S. This problem is only on the KDE environment. Sound is working just fine on GNOME.

Make sure that kmix is installed.

Just so you know - if you want to install KDE on a system that didn't come with it, it is best to install a transitional package like kubuntu-desktop, kde-standard, or kde-full. This way you don't have to worry about missing components.
