hi, I have a COMPAQ, W98

the problem is probably very simple & stupid: I don't get a sound: I see the CD disks are palying....but it's completely mute

...checked all the hardware connections...they are ok....however I lost "sound" icon on the lower right hand corner....
any ideas what I could do about it???
thanks so much, D

Hi,
The speaker icon gone from your system tray, on the bottom right?
Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/ then open Multimedia.
Then under the Audio tab, look down at the bottom, and put a check mark by "show volumn control on the taskbar".

You might have to re-boot for it to come up.
Then, left double click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, and look to see if anything has been "Muted".
If that doesn't solve the "no sound" issue, please post back.
Best wishes,
fredg
