jonno72 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Hi I have windows vista basic on a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop.The speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner has vanished and I can't turn the sound up properly when watching videos. How do I get this back? Also when I sync my music to my phone ,sometimes windows media player will not drag the selected track over to the sync box. Why is this? It was doing it before! Quote
Plastic Nev Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Hi Jonno, Unfortunately not fully familiar with Vista, so can only guess, but have you looked in control panel, find Sound and Audio devices or similarly worded, open it and see if volume controls are accessible from there. If not, click start then run, type in- devmgmt.msc Scroll down the list to Sound Video and Game controllers. Click any positive marks to expand the list, are there any red or yellow marks showing?

KenB Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Hi, Try right clicking on the Taskbar ( just to the left of the other icons ) Properties > Notification Area There should be a check mark next to Volume. Also uncheck "Hide inactive icons" - see if it reappears. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
