No volume meaning no sound ? Or just no icon ?\n\nTo get the icon just go to the Control Panel then click sounds \n\nIf your sound is not working then make sure you have the sound card driver installed. If that fails make sure it is connected to the computer.

Go to Control Panel, system, Hardware, Device Manager, look for the sound manager, if it has a cross against it, open it and go to reinstall/update drivers, it will ask for the driver disk, if yours is a standard one, use the cd supplied with the motherboard to re-intall the sound card.\nOtherwise do a search on the net for the card makers site and download the applicable drivers.
