Odd..Why is my Sound Icon gone? - Shane - 10-07-2014
So....2-4 days...ago..I turn on my laptop (TOSHIBA), everything is fine...go on browser..play few games..go on my desktop...came back to my laptop..and..next thing I notice..was: I don't see my Sound Icon..so..I did a open all Icons thing in the menu..still not there? SO...then I did a "Logoff" To reset all apps. Shows up..but in the next hr or 30mins...its "gone" restart its there for 20mins? @least 30mins....No I have no Virus...I have done..nothing new...Anything I use Sandbox..for stuff..(Brower, tools/apps)..But can be a error? But..I dunno!
Please give me feed back..Hopefully its nothing to bad...I can deal with!

I had this with a customers Toshiba laptop...
Sound would be there, restarted and no sound. Every now and again it would come back.
Performed a BIOS update and works fine now.

You don't say what OS but try this:
Right click Task bar
Select Properties
Select Customize button
Select Volume and make sure it says "Show icon and notifications"
Just to be sure check the box that says "Always show all icons and notifications in Task bar"

Sorry, I was busy. Okay. OS I am using is Win7.
When i go to the: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons
Check box is on..but..in the other window: Turn system icons on or off. Behaviors For the icon..it is off: but also not clicking..SO I can't open the pop down menu.. o.o

I'm confused. Are you losing sound when the icon disappears?
Next time it happens check the device manager and see if the audio adapter is listed.

Looks like his Icons Missing or Grayed out, but I could of read it wrong

Whats the model of the laptop?

This may sound a bit stupid but have you tried upgrading your soundcard drivers and checking that you are using the correct speakers in control panel?
