Guest fwall4 Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Hello: I just noticed that have lost my on-screen volume contol; the little bars that show at what level the sound is. I can still adjust the volume by using the "Volume" icon on the task bar or the vulume knob but the graph bars were an easy way to see the db level. Does anyone have a clue as how to get them back? I'm running Win XP-Home/SP3. I appreciate your help, Fred
Guest Bob I Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Volume control. that sounds like a specific driver that came with your sound system, not part of the regular Windows setup. Unless you mean the Big one with all the sliders but not "db levels". Did you replace any system drivers with generic microsoft ones, perhaps from Windows Update? If so you don't want to be doing that, and should roll them back out. fwall4 wrote: > Hello: I just noticed that have lost my on-screen volume contol; the little > bars that show at what level the sound is.

Guest fwall4 Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Volume control. Hello Bob: Thanks for your fast response. I had diabled a few start-up programs in WLOC (>"Change Settings>"Tune-up" tab>"Startup Settings") and after I re-enabled them the problem went away. I'm not sure, however, which program prevented the on-screen display. At any rate, all is working now and I thank you again for the reply.

Ah yes, the old return system to prior configuration trick! <grin> fwall4 wrote: > Hello Bob: Thanks for your fast response.
