How do I put the volume icon back into the notification area?

Go to Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel and check Place Volume Icon in the Task Bar

If your using XP double click "sounds and audio devices" in the control panel. On the volum tab there should be a check box for "place volume icon in taskbar" check the box and you should get it back.

You may also want to look at you device manager since your volum option was grayed out it could be a problem with you sound card/drivers.

Did you restart?

Do you have sound at all?

Click on the start menu

Click on settings

Click conrol panel

Click on sound and audio devices

From here check box the box that reads "place volume icon in the taskbar"

if reboot didn't work try system restore back a few days if not for the sound go to start control panel sounds volume check show on task bar network go to network connections properities check show icon

Go to control panel and drag and drop the icon where you want it.
