How do I fix missing volume control in system tray?

[Guest Robbie Hatley]

The little loudspeaker icon that used to be in my system tray

(the one that launches the volume-control panel) disappeared.

I'm sure there's some simple way to get it back, but I

haven't been able to figure out how. Anyone know how to

get it back?

Make sure that the file Sndvol32.exe is in the winnt\System32 folder.

If the file is missing look in the dllcache folder for a copy or extract

it from your Windows 2000 CD. If the file is in the System32 folder see

if the information here can help:

Open Control Panel > Sounds and Multimedia. On the bottom of the Sounds tab

enable(check) the option "Show volume control on taskbar". Click on Apply and OK

your way out.

Ctrl Panel/Sounds & Multimedia

 

In the sounds tab make sure a check is in the area of sound volume,

"show volume control on the taskbar."

 

If it's checked than do as John John suggested.

Thanks to John John, David Webb, and ByTor for your replies to

my query re. missing loudspeaker icon in system tray. Yep, the

"show icon in system tray" checkbox in the "Sound" settings was

unchecked. I'd never even noticed that control before. Thanks

for the solution.

 

(Sorry about my blank reply of a few minutes ago. Either my

mouse or my Outlook Express is malfunctioning, because quite

often a single click on "Reply" also activates the "Send"

button which pops up immediately at the same screen location.

I just moved my toolbars so that "Send" now pops up at a

different location.)
