Tool bar volume control no longer functions.

My speaker icon in my tool bar used to respond to a left click with a slider
to adjust volume. It no longer displays slider. The speaker icon is present
and the sound is still on. It would be nice to have it adjustable again. I
have checked out device manager, sounds and devices manager with out success.
Any ideas?

No idea regarding the cause, unfortunately.

Perhaps hiding-and-restoring would cure the problem.

With me double-clicking invokes the mixer, and right-clicking displays two
options. Wouldn't either suffice as a work-around, in case the problem
remains?

A more thorough approach would be: have appropriate software check the
integrity of the Registry (after performing a back-up and creating a System
Restore Point).

Possibly corrupt file.

Get out your XP CD then :

Start > Run > type in msconfig > OK > Expand File > Browse to your XP CD and
find sndvol32.exe > follow the rest of the instructions > Expand it to
c:\windows\system32 and over-write the file if requested.

Did that work ?

Cheers,
