After re installing Windows ME, there is no speaker icon in the bottom right corner. Also no sound. The unit is a Dreamsys EZ.

HELP, ANY IDEAS?

Try this: Control Panel\Sounds and Multimedia - at the bottom - "show icon on taskbar"

this has worked for me when i lost sound & the speaker icon in systray

Press Windows + Break key at same time to bring up the System Properties box / Device Manager tab / doubleclik Sound,Video And Game Controllers / click on ur particular sound device / Properties / Driver tab / Update Driver / then Search For A Better Driver / Next

You've probably solved this by now, but for those browsing for answers:
I lost sound suddenly (and incurred other monitor issues) for no reason I could see. Turned out I lost 2 lines out of my system.ini files somehow. Adding them under the [boot] section fixed the video and sound problems respectively (2nd one fixed):

display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv
drivers=mmsystem.dll

My symtoms:
1. Monitor would only come up in 16 color mode and would not change.
2. Sound was disabled, all drivers in place, no volume control, and no software could recognize there were speakers or mic.

My system is an AMD 1.0 Ghz, emachines with windows ME pre-loaded (so re-installing wasn't an option). No viruses, reloaded monitor, sound, and video adapter drivers several times (including updates from web to no avail)

This is a great forum, so keep postin answers!!! Best place to get up and running. I got the above fix on this page, and applying to my problems. Thanks all!
