    Speaker icon shows in taskbar but does not respond to clicks for volume control


    I am running Win 10 on my Dell Inspiron laaptop. I have the Speaker Icon in my taskbar menu but it does not respond when I click it. So the icon does not translate onto my screen into a volume control lever. ANY HELP IN SOLVING THIS? (I would prefer NOT to delete and then re-install driver but I will if that is only solution.

    :)
