• Volume icon missing from the taskbar!

  Hello! My volume icon disappeared from my taskbar. How can I get that back?  I went to the selected menu on the task bar and start Control Panel configuration-on the notification area, it shows that I have the clock, network and power icons. It shows the volume, but it is weaker than the others so that you cannot select. Is there another way to create a shortcut of volume in my taskbar.

  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.
