in Windows 7 how do I restore the speaker icon in system tray?

Pam Lofgre

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.

how do i recconect my speaker volume on my computer?

bigbrowney

how do i get the volume back on?

Answer
I am guessing that the volume icon on your Windows system tray on the lower right hand corner is missing.. ..

Go to Control Panel, click on "Sounds & audio devices".

You should see a check box say "Place volume icon in the task bar".

Viola, double click on the newly poped icon & we are done.

Volume on computer - missing!?

Mary N.

All of the sudden one day I have no more volume on my computer. I have windows xp and I do not know what I did or what to do to get it back. I admit it is probably user error, but I can follow directions if someone will tell me what might need to be done to reestablish volume! Thanks!

Answer
Try looking at the 'Sounds and Audio Devices' control panel item (or if it's in the system tray near the clock double click it... the icon of a speaker) and see if the volume is turned down or muted.

Or...

Try to reinstall the sound drivers - Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Device Manager - then find your sound device usually located under 'Sound, video and game controllers' (check the manufacturer's brand to locate it in the list) and then right click - Uninstall.

Then right click again after the uninstall and click 'Scan for hardware changes'... it'll relocate the sound device, ask you for the driver, either insert the CD or any media that your driver is located on or let it search for the default drivers itself.

How can I install or get the sound in my computer?

speaker icon system tray missing image

Jossy

I just installed the Windows XP Pro Edition, Version: Sp3- Final (RTM) to my computer, it works pretty good except for the fact that the sound doesn't work also the screen is small.

Thanks for your help

Answer
Try checking this:
1. Whatever player you are using, (like windows media player), make sure the volume is turned up for it, at the bottom of the screen when it is trying to play.
2. Go down to the bottom right in your system tray and left click on the speaker icon and make sure it is turned all the way up.
3. If the above didn't do it, go to the same speaker icon in the system tray and right click on it and then choose playback. There should be an icon showing speakers with a green check mark beside it. If you don't see speakers then right click anywhere in the box and check show disabled devices and you then you will see the speakers. Right click on speakers and set it as default and enabled if it's not already.
4. If none of the above did it for you then yep sounds like your missing or haven't got your sound card driver working.

Audio will not work on specific youtube videos?

Art Vandel

For some reason I cannot get the sound to work on about half of a certain channel's youtube videos.
http://www.youtube.com/user/pianojohn113
Judging from the comments, nobody else is having my problem. I have tried changing headphones, using speakers, rebooting, using different browsers, updating flash player, and clearing cookies/history. Any other suggestions? Can everyone else hear the audio? One video that specifically doesn't work is the Lady Madonna tutorial. Thanks for any help in advance.

Answer
Open the volume control window by clicking your "Start" button and then "All Programs." Click "Accessories," then "Entertainment," then "Volume Control." Alternatively, just click on the speaker icon that's in your System Tray.

Check the volume and mute settings. If any of the mute check boxes have been checked, uncheck them. If this doesn't work, read on.
Perform a System Restore If Necessary.

If the sound has been audible from your computer's speakers and is suddenly lost, you may need to perform a System Restore. Click on the " Start" button and then "All Programs."


Click on "Accessories," then "System Tools," then "System Restore."

Complete the System Restore Wizard. If this doesn't work, read on.
Delete and Reinstall the Original Sound Drivers

Deleting and reinstalling your sound driver may resolve the problem. Your sound driver may have been corrupted or may be missing. The result of this is that the restore utility menu won't be available. For Windows XP, follow these steps.

Click on your "Start" button. Click on "Control Panel" and then "System." Next, click on "Hardware," then "Device Manager, then "Sound, Video and Game Controllers."

Click on a sound device named in the Device Manager, and then press the Delete key on the keyboard. Click "OK" in the window that appears. Remove all the listed sound devices i this way EXCEPT Audio Codec and Legacy Audio Drivers.


Restart your computer. Reinstall the deleted drivers using the Driver and Application Recovery CDs that came with your Windows XP system.


Visit your computer manufacturer's official website. Check for any updated sound driver software for your sound card. If any, download them along with the installation instructions.
