Volume Control

How can I reattain an icon for volume control in the
toolbar (bottom right of the screen)? I tried activating
it by doing the following:
1) right-clicking in the toolbar
2) selecting 'customizing notifications'
3) selecting 'always show' for volume; then apply & OK
However, this does nothing. My sound is always set too
low and I want it to stay at a certain level. How can I
adjust it so that it always stays at that level, as well
as setting the volume icon to appear in the toolbar at all
times, for the convenience of a short-cut. Thanks a lot,
Diane

Has anyone figured out how to get Windows XP Pro to
display the volume icon in the task tray? Don't tell me
to check the box in the sound controls in the Control
Panel because that does not work either. I am using a
brand new Audigy sound card.

Do you have the correct drivers from Creative installed for your card?

don't know what happened, but as of this last week, I am
not able to increase the volume on the speakers. Either
that or it got zapped somehow. ideas and help please.
It's really frustating. went in under devices and volume
control and the part that is supposed to let you adjust
won't. thanks
