If you go under control panel click on "Sound and Audio Devices" Under the first tab you should see an option to put the icon in your task tray. Also you can check your settings as well.

Sometimes simply restarting your computer could solve the problem.

That means it is not installed. If it is installed and has a yellow (!) then it is installed but not working properly and or needs new drivers. I would reseed the card and run a hardware scan again see if it brings back up.
