Volume control missing in taskbar

I have a HP G60-235DX laptop. I have noticed that the volume control in the bottom right taskbar is missing. When I right click on the taskbar>properties>notification area, Windows will not allow me to click on volume control. When I go to control panel>sound, I cannot click on default, apply, properties or configure. I can control the volume control with the function & sound keys assocaited wit hthe side number keypad. If anyone knows how to restore this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
George
UPDATE: After exhausting all options, I turned the laptop off, then back on & the volume control reappeared in the lower right taskbar & all other volume controls are now working properly as usual. Thank you.

Hi 333Help,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
Try this:
Control Panel > icon view > Notification Area Icons >
CHECK "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar"
OK
If you want to adjust the settings for some of the Icon Notifications individually:
UNCHECK the setting > go into the Window where the settings are located and select how you want each of the Items to respond... Once you have everything the way you like it, go back...
CHECK "Always show all icons...."
OK
I hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Volume icon missing on taskbar

How can I reload the volume icon to the taskbar

Hi:
You can try to re-enable it from the sounds & audio devices option in your control panel.
Click on Sounds and Audio Devices (or Hardware & Sound) in the control panel, and then if the enable volume icon is checked, uncheck it, click apply, OK. Then go ahead and check it again. Click Apply, OK, and see if the icon reappears.

Satelllite L830-10U: WIn 7 Volume icon missing in taskbar + unable to show

Hi
I have a Satelllite L830 10U with Windows 7
I can't see the volumen icon on the taskbar.
I tried to turn it on, but the "show icon /notifications" option does not show any icon, just plain text
and under the system icon tab (volumen, battery, net, ...) the volumen icon is in unselectable grey
Any ideas??
Are Toshiba's and Windows updates interferring somehow??
Thanks

Its not notebook problem but your system is muddled up.
Check this YouTube video which shows you how to enable this sound icon again:
[Volume icon is disabled or grayed out|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl_-4T8Uf8k]
Its about Vista but should work for Win 7 too

Hello lindenbar,
I see that you are having problem with the volume control missing on your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps that may help with the issue. If the sound is actually working on the computer then you should start with step 3.

No audio MISSING AUDIO MIXER - SM BUS CONTROLLER - VOLUME CONTROL

Working fine until the end of April (15) - tried reinstalling windows xp (repair) - installed the required audio devices / drivers.
Realtek ALC888 (integrated) on board with Nvidia 6150 LE graphics. AMD K8 Processor Athion 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
ASUS A8M2N-LA NODUSM3 GL8E Motherboard WINDOWS XP PRO
Can'f find chipsets anywhere online - contacted HP - MICROSOFT - ASUS - AMD no one willing to help.
Device Manager doesn't show at all - no device - no yellow ! - no red x - absolutely nothing for the following:
SM BUS CONTROLLER
When trying to update driver states MUST select and INSTALL via the DEVICE MANAGER - Only problem is - it is NOT LISTED ANYWHERE in the device manager tree.
Install RealTEK drivers - RESULT - Limited Audio from RealTEK HD Audio Manager - Can hear TEST Audio I/O default Sample thru headset.
THERE IS NO -
Volume Control either in the MENU >> Programs >> Accessories >> Entertainment ( NOTHING !!) No program. no icon. no options. It is also MISSING from the SYSTEM (taskbar) Tray (lower right of desktop)
If I use Audacity and MANUALLY load a WAV or MP3 file - I get audio
DXDiag claims DIRECTSOUND is missing driver
Adobe SoundBooth CS4 also will manually retrieve and PLAY WAV - MP3 - OGG - AU files ( I can hear thru headphones (rear panel))
Any video including off and online will work just fine - if any audio, cannot hear it.
The system has been flawless for a number of years - it is just within the last two weeks, it has NOT worked regarding audio - GRAPHICS, GRAPHIC SOFTWARE, VIDEO PLAYBACK all work.
Go to CONTROL PANEL >> Sounds and Audio Devices - EVERYTHING is greyed out - NO Playback Device, No Audio Device, No Speaker settings or Device Volume Controls - just a panel showing nothing is connected or selectable.
CLICK HARDWARE TAB - SELECT - Choose any device (Audio) and states the device is working properly and is enabled.
On BOOT - Windows Audio Service is STARTED, set to AUTOMATIC
Bootlog shows WA Service Started, but individual Audio Device Drivers DO NOT LOAD!
Device Manager SHOWS NO WARNINGS - of broken or disabled drivers anywhere (looks normal at a glance)
Have run out of ideas to try and fix the problem. ANYONE have any kind of NEW ideas - beyond uninstalling / reinstalling drivers? (Have done that no fewer than 50 - 75 times!).
Thanks for any advice, beyond suggesting getting a new machine - There are practical reasons for not wanting to - based on work related XP specific proprietary installed software (Engineering-applications).
Thanks in advance for any insights, advice, work-arounds, solutions that work.

Hi:
This would be the chipset driver you need...
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/9701/en-us
After you install the chipset driver and reboot, try the audio driver directly from Realtek.
Accept the agreement. DL and install the first driver listed in green.

Get taskbar volume control ba

how do you get the creative volume control back on the taskbar? i know how to get the normal windows one back, but i had the creative one instead and now its dissappeared..

Launch the Creative Mixer. Somewhere near the help button at the top right corner, there should be a dropdown arrow. Click on the dropdown and I believe there is a menu item to enable the Creative volume control back.

ITouch 1st gen OS 3.1.2 - missing touch volume control

Does anyone know if apple has made it possible to upgrade the 1st gen iTouch to OS 3.1.2 without losing the volume controls? I have read some people saying that they are missing volume controls and others just forgot to plug in their headphones. Does the iTouch volume control work on a 1st gen? I really hope that I don't have to upgrade hardware to get the new OS. Any help would be appreciated. Also, is it possible to downgrade firmware to a version that supports touch volume, if it's necessary?

I tried restarting my iPod Touch by holding down the top button until it gives the option to power off. This didn't seem to help, as there was still "no volume available", however, when I moved the iPod Touch from the dock and plugged the jack directly into the port, the volume control reappeared immediately, and when I moved it back to the dock, it stayed present and is still there now. Earlier today, when I used my headphones, there was also "no volume available", so perhaps power cycling did help?

How do you increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon ). The phone volume is fine. It is when I retrieve voicemails. Even the speakerphone is faint. I have adjusted the side volume buttons and the volume control in settings.What am I missing?

How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.

Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.

Missing 5.1 volume controls in windows xp

) I have audigy se card, tried both 620 and 62 driver. The thing is that I dont have volume controls for all channels when set to 5. speakers. There is allways only master volume, that controls left and right speaker. Is there any way to get volume controls per channel? I will try SB P7X Series Support Pack 2.0 and see if that fixes anything. OS is windows xp sp3.
Thanks in advance.

Also, i do not know if it's of interest, but the reinstall did not reinstall AAS. It was there when I followed the initial uninstall phase.
Yeah, that's of interest. If AAS isn't installed, Safari shouldn't launch. (I'm more used to it producing launch error messages, rather than an error-message-free launch error, though.)
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Selecting an existing volume control point-hit and miss

Hi folks,
Learning GarageBand feature by feature and enjoying it at every step.
Minor annoyance with the following and hoping someone has a way to make it less so.
I added volume control points to a song track to lower the volume at certain areas. I wanted to modify the levels but for the life of me selecting the already existing points results in adding a new control point I can never hit the blue dot on target to select it.
Any key click available to ensure I select the control point I want to move and not create a new one?
Thanks in advance.

i'm afraid not, the only advice is to set and click the mouse _very_ carefully, and perhaps zooming the screen to see the point and mouse tip better

How can I set up a custom keyboard shortcut for volume control?

Hi all,
I use my black MacBook at work, connected to an external monitor and external keyboard. I'm looking for a way to set up the F buttons on my external keyboard as volume control, just as they do on my laptop keyboard. Looking for F3 to F5 to be volume mute, down, and up, respectively.
I tried going into Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences but since there is no menu item for volume control I can't seem to add it. Anyone know how I can go about doing this or what I'm missing?
Thanks
Mike

set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume</pre>
this script will increase volume by 5 (out of 100) any time you run it. you can adjust this of course. save the script somewhere.
You can use a 3rd part app launcher to bind a keyboard shortcut to it. I use Butler. there are many others: Quicksilver, ikeys, quickeys, Spark, Launchbar.
this will work the fastest.
If you don't want to use 3rd party tools for this you can make a service using automator but that might be a bit slower than the first option. open automator. it will give you a pulldown screen wiuth the choice of what you want to make. choose "service". set it to receive no input and be available in all applications. add the following "run apple script" action to the service

set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it

save the service, go to keyboard system preferences->keyboard shortcuts->services and make a shortcut for the service you just created.

The volume control on my ipod touch 4th Gen is gone,what should I do?

It just happen to me lately, so as I open the music while my earhones are plugged,I saw that there is no volume control on my screen but the song is still playing but I can't hear anything so I remove my earphones then I plugged it again then the volume controls show. I have to do this all over again just to listen to my songs. Also,when I try to play it on loudspeaker,the volume control is missing again. I already restore my ipod but it is still the same. My OS is up to date so my itunes are. what should I do? Does somebody experiencing the same? Somebody help. Thanks

Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
Whats working:
Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider. Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
Whats not working:
Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
Thanks

Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?
