Lost Windows 8 Volume control key
Windows 8 offers you at least 2 methods to restore the volume control key. They are 1) right-click on the icon in the right lower date/time in your toolbar. The volume control has a "start-stop" icon next to it. Don't forget that it's on. (A) I found this place and the Volume key is in the off position but will not click on. It seems to be frozen. Then 2) pass your 'settings', click on the 'Control Panel' and then click 'hardware and sound'. Here you have several options for searching on the parameters, but none of them work to reset the controller volume to my toolbar icon. then 3) restart your computer and the hope of a "reset" which will take place and restore factory settings. It did not work. (4) create a restore point (previous date) to reset your computer. This also failed. Nothing I have tried so far has worked. Now I am in a dilemma and did not have a next expected move.
It turned out that I had an another re-boot and this time she came back. I don't know why he did what he does, but he seems to be corrected at this time. I the inventory of your response for future reference and I appreciate your help. When I bought this computer, even if it was new, I think it was a returned model as part of the windows 8 information had been removed. It took Rep. Windows nearly an hour to restore my computer objects that had been deleted. Anyway, everything is good now and we'll see how things respond in the future. Mahalo again for your answer.

Windows Vista Volume control - several users connected
Vista Home Premium. Several users. IE8 on a site playing music.
fast user switching. The music heard in the new session of the user. Mixer volume control unable to see the other application users to turn off the music.
How can I make Blender see other sound control applications usersHello gmayes,
In addition to what Anthony has provided above the quick change of user in Windows Vista is designed to run programs that are specific to each user profile. This means that when you play the music in a single profile and use the fast user switching will continue to play music and the secondary profile will not have access to control the Web pages or the volume of the music played on the primary profile.
Using programs of another quick switch mode user profile is not something that is supported by Vista right now.

No audio device or after reinstaling windows xp volume control
I reinstalled Windows XP on Inspiron B120 my daughter because she got the blue screen of death. I finally understood how to get the wireless working and I thought everything was OK. Today I asked him if his cell phone was still used and she told me the volume had disappeared from the taskbar and she had no sound.
When I go into Control Panel configuration/sounds and Audio devices / Volume, everything is gray and it says 'no audio device'.
I tried Dell Quickset, but unfortunately it didn't there nothing to bring back.
I don't want to have to reinstall Windows XP again because of all the problems that I had to get access to the Internet after last reinstallation. But I think there may be something I can correct if I or someone else, can understand it miss me.
Any help would be appreciated.

Lack of volume control and Greyed out in the taskbar properties
Until recently (past two months) it was never a problem. When I bought this computer there nearly two years, I created my taskbar which included my volume control. He has been there since then. I have Vista, Service Pack 2.
I have not changed hardware. But in the last two months my volume control dissappers of the taskbar every once in a while and when I go into the taskbar properties, the control volume is grayed. It's VERY frustrating because I can't find another way to implement volume control. Fortunately I have a volume control key on my keyboard and use it when necessary.
I did a search about this problem and see that a lot of people have the same problem. WHY? If this happens due to Windows updates, why didn't this problem been taken care of. Some of the complaints I've seen in my research were two years old.
Frustrated. Please do stop.
Use this tutorial:

Hi all
I'm about to buy a Satellite P750, but one thing bothers me about this model. When the volume control keys are used there is a too beep each time that his press. s there is sort of this deactivation via software or BIOS settings?
I asked around, but sales people I have talked to don't know and I don't have time to travel around to find an expert on Toshiba laptops.
Any help would be appreciated to greaetly. Thank you.
Hello
On model previous laptop (Satellite P500) there is an option in the BIOS to disable the beep of the volume control buttons.
You should find it in the BIOS-Advanced-Online System Configuration online. There is an option called beep that you can disable.
Can you confirm this option on Satellite P750?

Volume controls on the keyboard after the upgrade to Windows 8
I have a Touchsmart 520-1070 with the mouse and keyboard without wire factory. After the upgrade to WIndows 8, the volume controls no longer work. I tried the Recovery Manager to reinstall the keyboard drivers, but there is no driver keyboard under hardware drivers.
In the following device manager are listed under keyboards:
HID keyboard device
Keyboard 109 MCIR Microsoft eHome
Keyboard MCIR Microsoft eHome
Microsoft eHome key remove control Keayboard
PS/2 standard keyboard
Any report that they are installed and are working correctly and that the drivers are up to date.
Has anyone else seen or solved this problem with a Touchsmart computer?
The instructions below were provided by HP support. This has restored the function on the keyboard volume controls. The referenced below drivers are drivers IDT high definition Audio Device. I am not sure that it was necessary to reinstall the audio drivers. It can only had to remove the USB dongle and back to restore the functionality of the button. Note: the USB dongle is located behind the VESA Panel to the back of the PC. No tools are required and the dongle can be removed and replaced without shutting down the PC. VESA panel removal requires a bit of a steady hand, pulling the lip which is close to the connections on the rear panel.
Instructions received from HP:
Please go to the following link and check the "return of the system", article #7 is the USB dongle:

After you have reinstalled the receiver, please download and install the following driver:

I have a HP 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite 083 UK:
Model KG-08510 rev 1.1
Product #ABU KZ256AA number
Part number 505143-031
.. Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 Home Premium, I have problems with getting control of Volume +, - and disable keys on the keyboard to work reliably in Windows 8 Pro.
In summary, the symptom is that when I start the PC from a start-up to cold which is a full power down of the State of the volume on the keyboard controls do not work.
However, if I unplug and re - plug the USB wireless receiver that came the keyboard on the PC then on the keyboard volume controls begin to work again.
I tried the following things to try to solve this problem:
-Made a lot of new installation of Windows 8 i.e. reformatting the hard drive (no recovery) and fresh install Windows 8 on a blank hard drive.
-Installation of Microsoft Windows all the updates available for the machine.
-Manually install drivers wireless keyboard on the site of HP driver for my computer HP Pavilion Elite 083uk (this allows the screen display on to CapsLock and numlock which works reliably every time that I start).
-Disable 'fast start up' in Windows 8 power settings
-Using different USB ports on the back of the machine
This question is re-producable each time and the keyboard volume buttons work fine even from boot cold when I was running Windows 7.
I think that I have now found a solution / workaround to solve this case no matter who is interested.
1. download and install the Microsoft "DevCon" tool that provides an interface to command line for Device Manager.
Download and installation instructions are here:
2. create a Windows scheduled task with "highest privileges" that works on logon that issues the following command:
DevCon restart 'HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02'
This restarts "HID-compliant consumer control device" that is listed in my device manager which is middle for the proper functioning of the volume control and mute buttons on the keyboard (keyboard functionality is via a separate driver which is not affected).
NB. you need to replace ""HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02"with whatever hardware ID is listed in the device for that Manager.»
3. If the above does not work, then you must create a scheduled task to run a batch file with the following:
DevCon disable 'HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02'
DevCon enable 'HID\VID_03F0 & PID_0862 & REV_0105 & MI_01 & Col02'

missing volume control
volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:
"Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »
I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?
When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:
Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.
It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.
This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file. You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...
We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).
If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).
If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:
c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
Browsing from a level in the following folder:
c:\Windows\System32
Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.
Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.
Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.
Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

Lost my Volume control program
It worked fine for years then it quit.
Lost my Volume control program - error below:
Windows cannot execute SndVol32.exe, use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to installSeems to lack of sndvol32.exe and I don't know how to reinstall it or where. Some sounds still work, I checked all the settings, search the drivers updated, all ran diag tests.
In Control Panel under the icon 'sounds' Audio I select Add the "speaker" of the task bar icon and the error. When I click on any button volume (s) there, I have the same error. I use the default sounds. I noticed the chest upward and stop sounds are gone as well. Main issues seem to be under the tabs ' volume and audio. Ideas how to fix?
Put your XP CD in your drive, do not let it start. If so, cancel it. Then:
Start > run > type msconfig and press enter or click OK > click on extract file > in the upper area type in second sndvol32.exe point box to your CD/DVD drive where the disc XP is > third box type in c:\windows\system32 (assuming that is where your operating system is installed) > extract, overwrite if necessary > re-boot for good measure.
You should now have your controls of Volume/mixer back.
If you only restore discs while you will need to perform an Internet search for sndvol32.exe and go on the forums various one - sometimes people post copies of this file that you can download at the above address.
See you soon,.

Windows 7 automatically my volume control (results in all devices being cut).
Hello
I've traveled around a solution to this, but I had no chance at all.
I use Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and I find that the volume control seems to have a mind of your own. After starting my computer, sometimes the sound is muted. If I try to increase the volume using the volume control slider, Windows 7 he dragged down once again and I am unable to do anything unless I reboot and get lucky he did not yet.
There are also times where it will be repeated enough randomly while I have a game open or I play music or just about anything else. Once it does, it is impossible for me to put my levels sound back as they were, without having to reboot.
Specifications of the PC:
Intel Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz.
Motherboard P5KC with 4 GB of RAM.
Creative X - Fi fidelity.I tried right click on the volume control, go to the sounds-> Communications tab and selecting 'doing nothing '. I tried to update to the latest drivers available for my sound card, directly from the creative support site.
I don't know what else to do. It is extremely frustrating to have to reboot unnecessarily several times a day because of this problem. I googled for answers and saw that there are other people who have similar problems, but they seem to use a different material than I am, and there is not a lot of information circulate another that "update your drivers", which did nothing for me.
Could someone please recommend anything else I can try?
You guys are going to be shocked but - after I had all the settings and the tinkers pilot and got no where - I UNPLUGGED my wireless mouse and used the pad - I had to order my volume - up and down immediately. Something with the mouse is in conflict with the sound program. Maybe my wheel mouse or key has been blocked causing an automatic decline or increase - not sure. For me, the mouse was the culprit - good luck!
