"Speaker" icon disappears

Dear MS community

Someone has an idea why the speaker in the taskbar icon might disappear someday, and then reappear on a complete departure. (Note: not a reboot)

It is the second time that this has produced over the last two weeks.

Hello

Something, as a driver or another program, interfere with the icon and the real
cause may be difficult or impossible to verify.

1 Please reboot nothing so interfere with this process.

Click with the right button on the task bar to Taskbar - Properties - tab - Notification area to customize the button-
Tick Volume - if it is grayed out, then use this link. (Power supply, network and clock are
the same thing.)

This is the case. Simply said nothing has changed I know except that I accepted upgrades of various programs, for example, Skype, adobe reader software, etc. I can't say when the icon disappeared.

  • I can adjust is no longer control volume via the speaker icon in the notification bar.

    I found issues of users on this forum where the "speaker" icon has disappeared.  My problem is slightly different.  The "speaker" icon is always visible, but when I click it, I no longer get the vertical bar that allows me to adjust the volume.  I have made no recent changes to my computer and does not understand why it happened all of a sudden.  I have spent at the taskbar properties and tried to turn the volume icon but this has not cured the problem.  Can anyone help?

    It is not a 'solution' in its true meaning.

    The corrupted account use more. You will need to remove it. BUT, before you do, and if you want to save what are in this account, you will need to use this tutorial:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    Note: after you create the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account you just created.

    Of course, if there is nothing to save the corrupted account, then just delete.

    If this account is an administrator account, make sure you first create a new admin account AND make sure that the new administration is working FIRST before deleting the old one. *******

    PS It is not advisable to activate the guest account. Disable it.

    Create a standard user account for all guests who may need to use your computer.

  • speaker Icon will not remain in the toolbar

    I am unable to keep the "speaker" icon in my toolbar.

    When I place it here he stayed there until I got close but when I start the computer, it is absent, so I have to start the entire process, but it does not only the parameters.

    Thank you Shawn,
    I enter the control panel and select sounds and Audio and advice from the speaker on the taskbar like that but he remains when the computer is turned on and when I connect it disappears and doesn't show up when I start the computer again. So I have a loss of know-how.

  • My "speaker" icon no longer appears my my taskbar.

    I am running Vista SP2.  A few days ago I noticed that my PC speakers did not work.  I tried to reinstall the driver from the manufacturer (HP) to see the "speaker" completely icon disappear from the taskbar after restarting!  I also tried to update the audio (Realtek) driver and video driver (the speakers are physically inside the screen) of the manufacturer.  I have also reinstalled the High Definition Audio Codec.  After all this and a half day of start of the system, nothing has helped.  The instructions on the web site of HP said I should see the "audio, video, and game controllers" listed in Device Manager.  It is not, so I'm confused if it's bad instructions from them or my D/M is messed up.

  • All the icons disappeared spontaneously (charging, home, folders, files exe in tabs, favicons)

    I use the latest version of Firefox (as of 3 October 2014 impossible to verify what version because I don't know which button to press - see question) on Windows 8.1. I did not close the browser, but all of a sudden all THE icons disappeared. If I click on the blank spaces, functions will continue to operate (for example I can always close a tab), but I don't see what follows: Reload, Home, buttons etc. Bookmark folder icons; No icons on the settings tab; Exe in the upper right corner of the tabs; Favicons.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Drop bookmark icon disappeared. Using view &gt; toolbars &gt; customize to add, but it disappears as soon as I click on Done and leave the Customization screen.

    I opened Firefox, and all of a sudden my icon to bookmark on the right side of the screen which opens the menu drop-down disappeared. I keep trying to add it by going to view > toolbars > customize. It appears that in the Customization screen, but once I click done and close the window to customize the icon disappears again. How do I add back and he can stay once I click done?

    Just to clarify what cor - el said earlier, if the classic menu with the bookmarks menu bar, then the toolbar button that does the same thing becomes hidden. He hid before Firefox 23, only when it's on the Navigation toolbar, but now he seems to hide little matter which toolbar it is on.

    If you're in the bar of classic menu for two compact columns (orange Firefox button) menu, then button to the bookmarks toolbar reveals itself. But then if you want the full menu bar you have to press the ALT key, or press F10.

    Hi markyb208,

    I'm not sure what you have a problem with Firefox.

    Are you talking about icons on your Windows 7 desktop. In a standard installation, Firefox will try to add an icon on the desktop, but it shouldn't do something to remove the icons.
