The volume control is missing from the system tray. And will not reappear if you go into control pannel, click sound and enable the checkbox.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you looked in the device manager for yellow or red marks on any sound equipment?

If your OS is Windows XP, you will find the volume application in Windows > System32 > sndvol32.exe and you should be able to create a shortcut to your 'Programs' folder. Check Settings > Task Bar & Start Menu and be sure the Volume applet is set 'always show'.

Hope this helps.

If your sound is working and doesn't show the yellow or red in device manager.

Right click on the taskbar select properties>taskbar>customize under here you will see different icons that go into the notification area.

Take a look and try to find the audio one it may have been set to be hidden.
