I reinstalled PulseAdio beacause I my indicator-sound just disappeared, but it didn't help.

enter image description here

Strangely, I have installed indicator-sound and still don't have that sound control. Nay, I don't even have any settings in "Sound Settings":

enter image description here

I ran "Volume Control PulseAudio" from unity launcher and I got this:

enter image description here

So I ran start-pulseaudio-x11:

$ start-pulseaudio-x11 

Connection failed: Connection refused

pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

What Can I do to fix it?

Some pulse-audio issues can be resolved by resetting your pulseaudio configuration file then logging out and logging in to regenerate it automatically.

mv ~/.pulse ~/.pulse_backup

From your comment - this is exactly the case for your situation :)
