Open Control Panel, then open "Sounds and Audio Devices". The first tab is "Volume" and has a checkbox to display an icon in the Taskbar. Check the box and select "OK".

Try rebooting and see if that will re-install your sound device. If not, try "Add New Hardware" Wizard in Control Panel.

HI,I just went into add hardware and this i have on screen.
No M/S kernel,no sigma tel HD,NOnvidia HD,NOadapter i BELIEVE THIS MY VIDEO PLAYER.
Anything that has to do with sound totally gone,even went into M/S and they were of no help and this all started when did M/S updates
and this not the first time PC went to hell in a hand basket because of M/S updates.
I do not any disks for this PC,but usually these problems are really simple and stupid mistakes you just have to know where to go to.
Also used restore and went back 2 weeks and speaker icon still did not show up,thanks

Well would you believe i have now,went into M/S fix-it program and got sound back,see i told it is usually something simple and stupid,like looking for white Easter eggs in a snow storm.
