My Volume is missing from the taskbar!

Hello! :) I fell on my computer one day, and I look at a video clip, so I went to increase the volume, (I always keep on mute) on the toolbar. Unfortunately, the volume key was missing! I did the following steps I found on another thread, but it says there is no device found. I jut need an answer, and I'm not trying to do something wrong. I'm just here for an answer to this very difficult problem that I need resolved as soon as POSSIBLE, because I use my volume all the time and I need currently for a school project, but with the stupid computer recognizing the speakers to my 10.1 netbook Acer, I can't continue my school which is project scheduled for tomorrow! Please help ASAP!

  • Program volume control missing from the taskbar.

    MY VOLUMN CONTROL ICON IS MISSING FROM THE TOOLBAR. I TRIED TO CHECK THE BOX IN THE CONTROL PANEL, BUT IT'S ME GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE "YOUR VOLUME CONTROL PROGRAM IS NOT INSTALLED" I FIXED USING XP DISCS, BUT IT IS NOT YET HERE. THIS IS PART OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM. I HAD ALSO LOST MY CALCULATOR AND GAMES. I HAVE RE-INSTALLED CALCULATOR AND ACCESSORIES SINCE THE ORIGINAL DISC GAMES ARE BACK BUT STILL NO VOLUMN CONTROL.  ANYONE KNOW WHAT THEN?

    The sndvol32.exe file is one of 3498 files that are monitored by the Windows File Protection System (if it works).

    Assuming that your volume control was previously working and you have uninstalled not really things...

    Even if you manually delete c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe, Windows File Protection should quickly and silently substitute a backup copy and put a message similar to the following in the XP system event log:

    Event type: Information

    Event source: Windows File Protection

    Date: 16/06/2010

    Time: 11:57:49

    Description:

    File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.0.

    See the date and time of this event?  I just deleted my file sndvol32.exe moments, and it is replaced almost instantly (no necessary CD in XP), so so he could go "missing" in the c:\windows\system32 folder and it must be replaced would require an effort unless something is wrong (which it probably is).  You can only delete even on purpose.

    Calc.exe is similarly - it requires some effort or other malfunction so he could come in fact really missing which means that something is not somewhere - if it worked before.

    Why don't search you your system for the file and see if it is in c:\windows\system32 or not.  If it's not and it worked before, you have another problem or something is wrong.

    Before you try to replace the file that should never be missed in the first place, you must first of all decent scanner for malware (since this problem with the sound control panel is such a common condition of malware),then when the scans are complete and clean, difficulty of problems.

    Do a few scans for malware, then when it's over difficult problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    the honest answer is expected... Thank you!

    Hello

    Try this:

    Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
    Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
    Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

    Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

    Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
    you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

    Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
    Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
    most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
    run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Volume icon disappears from the taskbar

    Volume icon missing on the task bar.  Seek to return so I can adjust volume when necessary

    It was with my installation of XP.  I have to open the Control Panel, uncheck the 'show' in the task bar (or system tray, whatever it may be), hit apply, then re - check and apply again.  It should appear. For a period of time.  Also started happening with my battery/power icon and the same solution worked for a while, but now it works again (just for the battery - the volume still works like that).  I had found some registry changes, but they do not seem to have worked.  Any comments would be useful.  I still have to run this laptop sometimes.
