The recent updates removed volume control applet from a panel. It

nothing happened. Why it is still on the list is anybodys guess.
It does not look like that any other "mixer type" application showed
up on menus as a replacement. In any case the current version of
gnome-volume-control appears to be bowdlerized now to such extent
that it is not likely to be of any use outside of the most trivial
situations; in other words not then when it is really needed.
Is alsamixer from a terminal window the only thing left? I do not
mind, as long as somebody will not try to steal that, but I know
users with whom this will not sit very well.

Note that all these volume controls set the hardware volumes, if you want to
set the PulseAudio volume, that's done through pavucontrol (and that's
probably the reason gnome-volume-control is deprecated, they want you to
use pavucontrol instead; but there are legitimate reasons to set the
hardware volumes!).
