  • Volume control icon has disappeared from the notification area and unable to change.

    Original title: missing Volume control on the speaker/icon

    My volume control icon disappeared from my office. On my notification area icons > system icons, the volume icon is set to 'off' and grayed out so I can't change it. I did NOT choose this option. It just happened when I turned on my computer this morning and had no sound and no "speaker" icon appearing in my bar tasks, like she normally does.  In addition, my notifications area icons is set to DISPLAY the volume control on the taskbar, but it does not show.  Restarting my computer did not help.  What can I do to get this to redisplay the taskbar? Fortunately, I can always manually volume by going to control panel, sounds, speakers, level and make it work, but it's too long. I need to be able to turn the volume on and off quickly.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium. Thanks for any help that can be given.

    Thank you very much for your answer!

    The answers to your three questions are No, Yes, and No. miraculously, when I turned on my computer this morning, the icon is back!  I'm sorry that you have to spend so much time explaining what to do, but at least I'll have your answer to see if it never happens again, and maybe it can help someone else.  I doubt I'm the only person never to happen.  Once again, thank you!

  • volume control icon does not appear at startup but appears on disconnection.

    Control of the volume icon in the bottom right of the taskbar does not appear on the startup, even after unchecking and rechecking. But this appears on disconnection. Once again reboot it disappears. Number of attempts have been made in the section audio and audio to uncheck and check the menu "set the volume control on the taskbar" again, but the problem remains. How to solve the problem with Windows XP service Pack 2?

    Just to add to the response of T from B, you can see if you have sndvol32.exe here:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    To get to the address above, you will need to show hidden files is selected in the Explorer (right click on desktop > Explorer > tools > File Options > display (or view) > scroll down.)

    You then simply copy the file in c:\windows\system32, overwrite when asked.

    See you soon,.

    How can I add volume control to my quick launch task bar? I tried dragging the icon to the taskbar, which did not work.

    Hello Hassan.

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

    Start by making a right click on the taskbar, and then select Properties. Select the tab, Notification area and choose Volume under the icons in the system. That should put back your icon on the status bar at the bottom right of your screen. If she does not please repost here and let us know.
