It sounds like you have not updated the drivers for your soundcard to XP. If you know what brand of soundcard you have go to their site for the latest drivers, or use the drivers area of this forum on the left hand side to get them.
If you go to control panel and open up the sounds and audio devices, click on the volume tab, under mute there is a box...place volume icon in taskbar...check it, voila! Now, you will the volume icon on your taskbar. No need to update or go to your CD.....Bah!
