Volume icon missing?

I lost the volume icon in the taskbar.  When I go to the taskbar and launch the properties of the menu of the volume box is gray and so can't check so that it appears in the task bar.  Any suggestions?

Not sure if I do it properly or not.

Click with the right button on Taskbar - Properties - tab Notification area - check box Volume - if it is grayed out

  • Volumer icon missing blackBerry Smartphones

    I recently let my brother use my phone and long story short when he gave it back I was missing the volume icon.  I can't get it back.  I can only go to vibrate through the square key.  If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    See if it is hidden. From the main screen hold down your ALT key, then click on an icon and choose Show all. See if you see your profiles icon then. If you do just ALT + click on it and uncheck Hide

    Alternatively you can try to reset the theme. Go to Options | Theme. Of in this screen, press the menu key, and then choose Reset default theme.

  • Can not adjust the volume unless I go to control panel - volume icon missing

    My volume icons disappeared from the notification (lower-right) area and I can't adjust my volume levels of my office (I have to go to the control panel every time).  When I right click to change the properties of the notification bar, the box next to volume under the "always show icon" is not Hi-limited and will not let me choose to always display of the volume icon.  What can I do else?

    This has been known to solve the problem for some. No guarantee, but it is safe and it is much much easier than this... just print first, then follow the instructions. Takes two minutes :)

  • Volume icon missing and disabled in the taskbar properties

    I noticed my icons for volume and network of the taskbar for a week and finally decided to try to repair. I checked the properties of the taskbar and found volume and network selections have been disabled. So I rebooted.  Now I have the clock and network icons, but no battery icon and I don't always have the sound icon (which was the one I wanted) and these two are disabled in the taskbar properties. Any advice on how to reactivate these icons? I have Vista and I am currently on updates.

  • Volume icon disappears from the taskbar

    Volume icon missing on the task bar.  Seek to return so I can adjust volume when necessary

    It was with my installation of XP.  I have to open the Control Panel, uncheck the 'show' in the task bar (or system tray, whatever it may be), hit apply, then re - check and apply again.  It should appear. For a period of time.  Also started happening with my battery/power icon and the same solution worked for a while, but now it works again (just for the battery - the volume still works like that).  I had found some registry changes, but they do not seem to have worked.  Any comments would be useful.  I still have to run this laptop sometimes.
