Same issues as earlier posts of jerbunk and tkittrell. New HP, after updates the volume and the network icon went missing. After two reboots, still missing. Just now after reading above, went back to system tray notification icons and was able to put checks in the boxes next to volume and network. Icons are now back. Thanks!!

Hi victoria123,

See my reply above which shows you how to deal with it using several methods including

when it is grayed out.

Hope this helps.

When I downloaded a new driver for my speaker system and rebooted, the grey areas in the display area dissapeared. I was then able to click on the volume box and the speaker icon reappeared in the system tray area.
