Re: Volume icon in taskbar

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you. The audio device was grayed out. i went to the Compaq web site
and found a new driver for audio tek. That took away the gray and let me put
the icon on the task bar. Two days later, it disappeared. I'm not sure
about the integrated sound so I went to the site you rec. and Im going to try
that. Thanks.
