On my laptop the volume buttons are not working. The lights for the "volume up" and "volume down" buttons are on but pressing them does not change the volume. The "mute" button also is not working. It lights up when I put "mute" on via the Control Panel, but the physical buttons are not responding.
Also, the icon for the speakers does not appear on the lower-right corner of my screen anymore.
How do I regain control of my sound?

Go to Start menu, then Programs, then Accessories, then Entertainment. Go to volume control. You can adjust your sound volume in that control.
Also, go to Start menu again then go to RUN and type msconfig and hit enter. Under the Services tab, you will want to enable your WINDOWS AUDIO service so that it loads up everytime you restart Windows.

Sometimes Mine fails too once in a while.
here's what I do to fix
first clean up and remove any old files/crap do a disk clean up
and a defrag then a restart
once my buffers are cleared it loads okay to system tray

click on the speaker icon in the tool bar, you may have to expand it to find it. or go into settings and you can find it there. Its easy slider type adjustment
