The little icon on taskbar that turns on or off sound is missing. How can I get it back? Thanks

Control panel. Click on little speaker and tick the box that puts it back on task bar.

Hi, richka!

In addition to the above, have you recently added some things that would cause your taskbar to have more icons on it, please?

Thanks!

I did as you said but no luck. That window seems to be unworkable. SOunds, voice, audio, hardware only bring up a 'faded out' window, which I assume means not working. I had the icon on taskbar before but must have done something to delete it unknowingly. No, there are only 3 icons there now. ANY solutions?
