When that happened here I found that (from your home directory) if you:

1. rm .gnome2/gnome-volume-control

2. click on the volume control and it works again.

I have no indication WHY this changes things as IIRC the file that is 
(re)generated appears to be identical to the one erased in bot permissions and 
content.
