Hi, I have a Compaq Presario laptop
There no audio/volume icon in the task bar
The buttons for adjusting or muting the audio manually do not light up when pressed
Windows Media Player and other media devices could not play any songs, but after checking the Audio codec something must have happened and now audio works ( it wasn't working before)
I suppose it's not as much as a problem anymore, but I wold like to know where my icon went
I greatly appreciate any help

Hi! In the Control Panel, In Sound, and Audio Devices icon -- click on that.. Under the Volume tab at the top. you should see a box that should have a checkmark. That says: Place Volume icon in the taskbar. Try looking at that. Hope this helps! regards, YB

It was a false alarm
Turns out that after I restared the laptop, the function came back, before when went to the control panel to adjust the system volume the bar was faded out, but now it works fine
Thanks though!
