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 has disappeared from the quick launch task bar.

    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.

  • Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

    Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
    Seems silly, but I can't find it!

    Hello

    Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
    There should be a tab named Notification area.

    In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
    You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
    In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

    In some cases, these options may be grayed out
    In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

    and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

    Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

    Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
    eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
    them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.

    New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%

  • DVD drive icon has disappeared from the Device Manager and my computer

    DVD drive icon disappeared from the Device Manager and my computer. I m using window 7. How can I get it back.

    Ashwani Hello,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

    There are various reasons why a CD or DVD drive may not be detected. I would like to ask all of the steps in the Microsoft Article describes a troubleshooting and check if they help to resolve the issue.

    Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs

    Note:

    Before editing a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy of the key or the subkey. You can save the backup copy to a location that you specify, for example, a folder on your hard drive or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to cancel, you can import the backup copy. For more information about backing up the registry, please see the link below.

    Hope that advice is useful. Let us know the State of the question, so that we can guide you further.

  • Current Volume icons, network, disappear from the notification area.

    I know that microsoft has heard this problem many times that I read many forums to ask this question.
    I went to this link
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/945011
    and used the microsoft fix and it worked for a few weeks, but then the icons disappeared again.
    I tried the Microsoft fix it once more and restarted my computer, but it did not work.
    so I tried to fix it manually by removing the two registry subkeys, restart explorer.exe, and then I restarted my computer.
    still no effect. I also understand that the icons disappear only on this computer user, the user can see the icons in the notification area.

    If this happens only to a single user...
    You might want to try to create a new profile for this particular user. The profile may be damaged.

  • The volume control icon has disappered from the taskbar.

    A few days ago, I turned on my pc and found the volume control icon that is normally displayed on the taskbar background, had dissappeared?  I explored all the options (icons hidden etc.), but the icon does not exist anywhere.  Can you help me?

    Click on the link below. Enter your number of product as that indicated on the Service tag on the bottom of the laptop (can be under the battery). You can also get the product number by pressing Fn + ESC key. After you enter the PN, click Next, then choose the software & Drivers.On the next page use the menu drop down to select your (probably Windows 7 64-bit) operating system. A list will fill with the drivers. Download & Intall the latest Audio driver. Reboot the laptop and check the results.

How to restore the icon of the menu display calendar?  Thank you. Robyn

    Thanks for sharing everything you already tried... any information help so avoid redundant orientation.

    Please, dig deeply and carefully on all the home screen panels, subfolders, etc... It is easy to accidentally move an icon to a different location. Also, you dig, please make sure that "Show all" is active, just in case you've hidden inadvertently to the icon.

    Good luck and let us know!
