Lost All Sound

Gentlemen

Volume Control in Systray is a checkbox setting
in / Control Panel / Multimedia.
The box is NOT available to be checked. In fact, nothing on the Audio page
is available...

Checked for Volume Control in Systray but it is absent. Further, when I
click on Volume control thru \Programs\Accessories\Entertainment,
nothing
happens.
How do I get Volume control back?

As RB posted, we need to know what Sound & Game
controllers appear in / Control Panel / Device Manager
-- and the commonsense cure for defective installation
is to remove these items from / Dev Mgr. and reboot
so the OS detects and reinstals them.

As Don said, you have to rule out the hardware first so test those
speakers.

If the speakers work, check your volume control in the systray to see if
Mute has been set. If not, boot to Safe Mode. Open the Control Panel to
Sounds..... and delete all entries. Reboot and let Windows detect the
sound card. Have the driver for your sound card ready to install.

Sometime over the last week, I have lost all sound from my Pc and do not
have a clue where to start looking.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for all your help.
