Put the Volume Mixer icon back on your taskbar
Sun, 03/23/2008 - 10:57 — Ciprian
Many of our readers asked us to help them put their Volume Mixer icon back to the notification area of their taskbar. Since this has been quite a common problem, we decided to publish this tutorial to help others having this issue.
First, right click on the taskbar and select Properties from the right click menu.
Alternatively, you can go to the Control Panel and type the word 'taskbar' in the search box from the upper-right side. Once the search results are loaded, click on the link that says 'Customize icons on the taskbar'.
The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window will show up on your screen. Here, go to the tab called Notification Area. In the System icons section check the Volume box and click on OK.
The Volume Mixer icon will now show up in the notification area of your taskbar.

Hi,
I had the same problem. But you can find the volume mixer if you create another user on your window and log on as that.
Anyway I manage to put back the volume mixer again WITHOUT HAVING TO CREAT ANOTHER USER.. I went to the sounds, selected the default scheme and then again I went to the taSk bar and then clicking on properties, Iwas asle to click on the volume check box and get the volume mixer back on my notification area.

Your sound card may put its own icon in the taskbar. If it does, then right-clicking on the icon may allow you to access the Volume Mixer.
