volume control program

I think I accidentally erased the program volume control while I was removing unused applications in Add or remove an item from the control panel. Now I can't hear a thing. The computer asks me to add the volume control program. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

If it is not displayed (greyed out) try restart before doing anything else.

    missing volume control

    volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

    I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

    We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Browsing from a level in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  • Lost my Volume control program

    It worked fine for years then it quit.

    Lost my Volume control program - error below:
    Windows cannot execute SndVol32.exe, use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to install

    Seems to lack of sndvol32.exe and I don't know how to reinstall it or where. Some sounds still work, I checked all the settings, search the drivers updated, all ran diag tests.

    In Control Panel under the icon 'sounds' Audio I select Add the "speaker" of the task bar icon and the error. When I click on any button volume (s) there, I have the same error. I use the default sounds. I noticed the chest upward and stop sounds are gone as well. Main issues seem to be under the tabs ' volume and audio. Ideas how to fix?

    Put your XP CD in your drive, do not let it start. If so, cancel it. Then:

    Start > run > type msconfig and press enter or click OK > click on extract file > in the upper area type in second sndvol32.exe point box to your CD/DVD drive where the disc XP is > third box type in c:\windows\system32 (assuming that is where your operating system is installed) > extract, overwrite if necessary > re-boot for good measure.

    You should now have your controls of Volume/mixer back.

    If you only restore discs while you will need to perform an Internet search for sndvol32.exe and go on the forums various one - sometimes people post copies of this file that you can download at the above address.

    See you soon,.

  • How to download the program Volume control for the taskbar

    Where can I get the installer of the volume control for my taskbar. I've triedControl Panel >sounds and Audio devices > check "Place Volume in the taskbar icon .

    When I check the box for "place volume icon in the taskbar" it gives me an error and says "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it, use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    Where can I get the program from?

    You mention that your netbook is HP. Most of the HP products have a recovery partition. If this is the case:

    -Click Start-> Run

    -Type in cmd

    -Type in the following, substitute the C:\ and D:\ readers with your partition recovery and partition system respectively:

    Expand c:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ d:\windows\system32\dllcache\sndvol32.exe

    -Press enter, and then type:

    Expand c:\i386\sndvol32.ex_ d:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe

    -Type exit and press ENTER.

    Your Volume control should now be restored. You can check this by opening the sound and Audio Control Panel devices and by checking the box to the volume icon to Place in the taskbar.

    If your problem is not solved or there is no such thing as a recovery partition after the return

    Hope this helps

  • 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/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  • Wave volume control keeps resetting to level lowest

    Volume slider control wave reset automatically level the lowest volume.  Sometimes the cursor moves down, resulting no sound, sometimes the cursor remains stationary with no sound.  Still, I can click on the cursor and its takes a few moments and then turns off.  I checked my drivers and they are the most current available.  I am running Windows XP with SP 3.  Suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you.

    I'm also facing this problem.  It is events actually very predictable.  It occurs approximately every 90 seconds.  VERY... WEIRD!

    Through the "Process Monitor" sysinternals.com program, I traced the culprit to svchost.exe.  When this happens I see a 'RegSetValue"and is defined as follows:

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{6994AD04-93EF-11D0-A3CC-00A0C9223196}\##?#HDAUDIO#FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76D5&SUBSYS_1028040B&REV_1001#4&160BAD3A&0&0001#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\#RearWave\Device Parameters\Mixer\ 2\Controls\ 0\Channel 0

    Type: REG_DWORD, length: 4, given: 0

    (I guess "Channel 0" and "Channel 1" is ' left' / 'Right' respectively "").

    If I change with Volume control program, 'data' that gets value are a value non-zero.  (Volume min = 0; Volume max = 65536)

    When I check the 'stack' for this event, I see the following.  (This has been exported in a CSV file.  Should be visible in MS Excel):
