Windows 10: Sound slider does not show up

I updated Windows with the March 2023 update and the volume slider that shows up, showing up what number it is e.g. 23 out of 100, when I click the volume down or volume up button, has disappeared. I can only access it/see the sliding bar by clicking the speaker icon on the taskbar or going into the settings. The volume adjustment still works it's just that the useful visual of the number is no longer popping up. This occurred after the update and has not re-appeared after another restart.

speaker ( or sound ) slider switch disappeared

Hi Hank,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

• 
  Are you able to use Volume slider on the taskbar?
  
• 
  Do you get any error message?
  
• 
  Are you able to see sound icon on the taskbar?
  

I suggest you to hoover your mouse on the right side of the taskbar and click on the sound icon and try to use volume slider and check if it that works.

Follow the steps below and check.

• 
  Discover the empty slot on the
  Taskbar and Right click.
  
• 
  Click on Properties.
  
• 
  Under Taskbar tab and Notification area
  click on Custom.
  
• 
  Tap on Select which icons appears on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Turn on Volume option.
  

Hope this helps. If any other issues get back to us. We are glad to help you.

Thanks

 

sound slider

Hello Fred,

The volume sound slider uses the Default Beep sound in Windows 10. If you want to disable this sound, you will no longer get any other sound notifications for events that uses the Default Beep sound.

To disable this sound, please follow the steps below:

1. Press the Start button > type Sound, then press
   Enter.
2. On the Sounds tab, under Program Events, select the
   Default Beep in the list, set it to None using the drop-down box. Please see the screenshot below:

You can also send a feedback using the Feedback Hub app. Please refer to this
link.

Hope this information helps you. If you have additional questions, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
