The sound menu in gnome shell have no mute/unmute option.

gnome-shell sound menu
so if the sound is muted i have to open Sound Settings and unmute it,unlike unity

Unity sound menu

i,e, i want to add a mute/Unmute button to gnome shell sound menu, as i need it frequently.

Middle click on the sound icon mutes/unmutes the sound (at least in Unity it does).
