Volume icon does not appear in the notification area

Miss me my "volume icon" in the tool bar?

Hi all

don't know what happened, I did NOT remove myself. All I know is that I add a new update for Java and now I noticed that my volume icon does not appear in the lower right corner where it has always been. Y at - it a fix for this please?

I have no restore point (although Im positive I did awhile back)

I can't find the "System 32" which is supposed to be in the 'control panel'. IM exhausted and at the end of my resources.

Thank you

Daniela

I just to have exactly the same problem as Tecian. Here's what I did to fix the problem.

Open up (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) Task Manager, go to the "Processes" tab, select "explorer.exe" and click on "end process."

Select the users tab in the youself select Task Manager, and then click the log at the bottom. Connection again and everything should be back.
Please post if this worked so he could help others.

YTS.

  • Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed

    NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER

    I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!

    I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !

    I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !

    I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.

    HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!

    Hi Annetalla,

    You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.

    1. click on Start.

    2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.

    3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.

    4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.

    If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.

  • Intermittently after the reboot, the option "Hide when minimized" in the Task Manager Win XP is too effective; the CPU usage icon does not appear in the notification area. Sometimes restart heals, sometimes not.

    The Options menu of the Windows Task Manager includes "hide when minimzed ', to display an icon in the area of notification, but not on the traskbar. I leave that option checked all the time to control the percentage of processor; but sometimes without apparent cause, after I reboot there is no icon in the area. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello ronks,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    The reason for which the icon is not in the system tray is because the Task Manager is closed not minimized when you start your computer. To do this, you could do the following:

    -Go to my computer > C: > Windows > System32
    -Locate in Taskmgr
    -Create a shortcut > right click on the shortcut > click on cut
    -Navigate to my computer > C: > Documents and Settings > username (your username) > Start Menu > programs > startup
    -Paste in the startup folder

    -Right click on the shortcut > click Properties
    -Less run > pull down the menu and select Minimized > click OK > close window

    Now every time that you restart the Task Manager will be launched in a minimized state.

    Hope this helps Chris.H

  • Sound does not work on the computer and the volume icon does not appear in the system tray.

    Original title: my sound icon has disappeared from the taskbar.  The Control Panel indicates the sound is on, but I can't hear anything.  What happened and how do I get my sound back?

    Have a Toshiba laptop that always displays the lower icon audio in the right hand of the screen.  The sound icon has disappeared and I can't hear anything.  I check Contol Panel and sound, and he says it works and is turned up... but I can't hear a thing.  How can we retrieve icon of audio and how I can hear sound?

    Hello

    Thank you for your response.
    I did a "System Restore" and the icon reappeared, and the sound now works.
    I restarted the computer a couple of times, but that does not solve the problem.  Also, I went into the Panel and checked to see if the speakers were working and were lit, and they were.
    It wasn't until I did the restore of the system that the icon reappeared and the noise began to work again.
    Thank you.
  • volume icon does not appear on the taskbar. no result no sound.

    Have you tried a double click on the file:
    C:\Windows\System32\sndvol32.exe

    Have you tried to bring up the Device Manager
    Start-> Run-> "devmgmt.msc".
    Then, look under "sound, video and game controllers".
    to see if there is a problem with your sound card or driver?

    Have you tried to look at your log files for errors related to your sound?
    Start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc".
