Just a note in case it helps.
Installing Testing from netinstall - MATE DE only - the volume control applet is currently missing from the repos.
Downloaded and installed v1.24 mate-media and mate-media-common packages from Bullseye and they work fine.

Re: [SOLVED] Debian Testing - MATE missing volume control applet
That is quite normal for the testing branch. Package transitions from sid are automatically blocked if a release critical (RC) bug is found and this causes the package to be removed from testing.
Use https://tracker.debian.org/ to track packages as they migrate from sid to testing.
The development branches should not be expected to be usable at any given time and lots of experienced Debian users are of the opinion that sid is a better choice than testing for day-to-day use. If testing breaks it can stay broken for a while and security fixes are always applied to that branch last, if at all.
It's probably better to use sid instead:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debi ... le_literal
Or switch to an actual rolling release distribution. That will probably provide a (slightly) more reliable and consistent experience than Debian's development branches.

That is interesting reading - thank you.
I have upgraded to Sid and so far so good. Only running in VMs so no harm done if it breaks.
