Rhythmbox is located in the sound menu (the tray applet where you monitor volume), however when I click it, it doesn't respond whatsoever. When I open Rhythmbox through Applications > Sound & Video, it loads just fine. The only problem here is that the control buttons are missing from the sound menu applet in the tray (pause, play, forward, rewind). Any fixes?

When in Rhythmbox select Edit -> Preferences, you should have in the in the General-tab on the bottom a drop-down menu called Toolbar Button Labels
Try changing the value of this drop-down, and see if the control button reappear.
This should influence both the control buttons in Rhythmbox and the tray applet.
Do
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-plugins
After that start rhythmbox and check your preferences under Edit->Plugins, and make sure that
Media Server2 D-Bus Interface
MPRIS D-Bus Interface
are checked. Then a reboot/logout may be necessary.
