Windows xp volume control icon missing

Extraction of sndvol32.exe from the Windows XP CD did not work.  What to do now?

Hello Janet,.

Go to control panel - sounds and Audio devices.

Is the box marked "Place volume icon in the taskbar" checked?

If not - it check and then click on apply. The icon appears in the bottom right of your screen?

    I suggest you refer to the below link and display all icons in the notification area.

    Also you can make sure that the volume icon is enabled in the notification area-
    a. open the taskbar and Start Menu properties by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, then clicking on the taskbar and Start Menu.

    b. click on the Area of Notification tab, to see icons, click Customize, click the icon (volume), you want to display, and then select the drop down options accordingly.
    c. click applyand then click OK.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • 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!

  • 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.
