I can't get the volume icon to stay in the task bar. It used to be there but
when I reformatted my hard drive it went away. I have checked the box "Place
volume icon in the taskbar". Everytime I reboot the icon disapears.

Can anyone help?
Dave

Are your sound drivers loaded correctly.....

IE no exclamation mark next to the sound driver in device manager......

Paul,
Thank you for your response.
The drivers are loaded properly. No exclamation marks. I can play music and
sounds of all sorts.

Are you running Norton systermworks 2005, I have this problem on one
machine, when I turn off turn volume control comes back. But this has only
happened on this machine have not seen it on any other machine.

JoeM,

No I'm not. The only Norton product I was using is Antivirus 2004. I dumped
it in favor of Panda Titanium Antivirus 2005. Perhaps I need to uninstall it
and see if it has any effect.

Dave

Backup, image your machine before you try anything major.

Nothing has worked. Any other ideas?

Dave

What programs are you running. Did your sound card come with software, did
you install it?
There is some software that use their own volume control, and they sometime
try to shut off the windows volume control.

JoeM,
I have lots of programs but I am assuming that you want to know what audio
programs I have.
Adaptec Roxio East CD Creator 5.3.5
Adobe Audition 1.0
Azureus 2
CD Trustee 2.03
Lime Wire 1.0.0.2
Real Player 10.5
Winamp 5.092
Windows Media Player 9.0

My sound card was factory installed. I've checked for driver updates and
found none.
