Question about 'Getting Rid of the Little Yellow Speaker in the Tray'

I have a question about Getting
Rid of the Little Yellow Speaker in the Tray:
The problem is when i clicked on the yellow speaker then a little slider volume control
would appear in the taskbar. However, when i click on it i cant get it to maximize.
then i click the yellow speaker again. i keep getting the icon in the taskbar but
cannot get a window to open so that i can adjust the volume. this is really annoying
because a week ago i used this very same control to mute the volume so as not to
disturb my boyfriend's sleep. Now i cant hear anything.
If i right-click on the icon in the taskbar i get a box that gives me the option
to minimize but not to maximize(grayed out). if i click restore nothing happens.
Has this happened to anyone else? Besides being unable to remove certain non-Microsoft
icons from my desktop this is the most egregious annoyance i have encountered yet.

sharon, it's possible that you forgot to "unclick" the mute selection on the slider
adjustment. try left clicking on the speaker icon and make sure the check mark is
not there. if it isn't, then right click on the icon and a window should appear w/
"open volume controls & adjust audio properties". choose open controls & make sure
the "mute all" or other mute "buttons" are not checked. it sounds simple, but these
things happen all the time! hope it works!

double-click the speaker, then right-click an empty area of the taskbar and select
cascade windows.

you can omit installing or deinstall ''volume control" in Control panel/software/windows
setup if you have appropriate software (mixer) from your sound card
