The speaker icon in the system tray just disappeared. I have Windows 7. How do I get it back?


Answer
Firstly check it is turned on in system tray icons --
Right click the little up arrow next to the system tray - Customize notification icons - Turn system icons on or off (bottom, in blue). Check volume is set to on.

If that isn't the problem you can try resetting the icon cache by deleting registry keys. Be warned, I suggest not messing with the registry if you are not familiar with it and how to back up keys properly first. If you aren't familiar with the registry ask someone that is to help you.

1. Back up the Registry by creating a restore point. (or backup the keys in question)
2. Go to Start > Run (or Windows-key + R), type in regedit and hit OK.
3. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
4. Delete the values IconStreams and PastIconsStream.
5. Open up the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), go to the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click End Process.
6. Open the Applications tab and click New Task at the bottom-right of the window.
7. In the message box that pops up type in explorer.exe and hit OK.
8. Explorer.exe will reload, and the missing icons should now be back in the system-tray where they belong.
9. Then if the volume bar isn't there, go to taskbar properties (where the volume was gray) and simply tick the box.

I have done this myself in the past when one of my icons went missing. Worked well.
