Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / August 2005Volume
I set my volume button on mute one day and now that I want to turn it back on the icon is gone. I have tried to go into the control panel to turn it on that way, nut nothing seems to solve the problem. I need help > I set my volume button on mute one day and now that I want to turn it back on > the icon is gone.

From "Sound" tab check "Show volume control on the taskbar." (You can adjust the volume here also.) Click OK your way out.

I see a tab for sound, but nothing that says volume control on the task bar. Do I have something different? Are you opening "Sounds and Multimedia" from the Control Panel? At the bottom of the Sounds tab under Sound Volume is a checkbox to select "Show volume control on the taskbar." >>Justin and KB - I have windows me.

I see what you are talking about and there is a check in the check box, although the "show volume control on the taskbar is not highlighted....... > Are you opening "Sounds and Multimedia" from the Control Panel?

I mean I can't click on the box that has a check mark already in it. > What do you mean it's "not highlighted?" > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >> > >>>>Justin and KB - I have windows me. I see a tab for sound, but nothing that says volume control on the task bar. Do I have something different? If you have a dial-up modem, you may need to re-install your modem drivers.

I see a tab for sound, but nothing that says volume control on the task bar. Do I have something different? Hi, Shane, What's the connection? I was thinking possibly a registry key was inadvertently removed or the sound card drivers need to be reinstalled.

As for DSL, has it - on this machine - always been DSL, or did it start out with 56k dial-up?

If the OP has a sound card this is no doubt irrelevent). I have, with 56k SM and AC97, experienced the symptoms a couple of times, and re-installing the modem drivers was the cure.

Also poss. in DXdiag. I'm not sure if this is specific to Speakerphone softmodems, as I've never had any other type. iirc it isn't required in XP as it already has the requisite drivers. None of which is to say that your suspicion was incorrect, of course! Shane > Live and learn.
