系统托盘中的音量控制图标是控制^{(Volume Control)}Windows 11/10 PC音量的最快方式。但是，如果在最近的更新或软件安装之后，它不再响应鼠标单击，无论是左键单击还是右键单击，您都有问题。许多人报告说，如果将光标悬停在该图标上，该图标会突出显示并显示音量，但单击该图标没有任何效果。在Windows 10中，这也是更改音频输出的最快方式，尤其是当您需要从扬声器更改为耳机以保护您的隐私时。

If your Windows Taskbar Volume Control icon has stopped working, and when you click on the volume icon nothing happens and you are not able to change the volume then this post has some working fixes that will help you. While the audio works fine, you will not be able to control the volume of the PC from the volume control icon.

Windows Volume Control not working

如果您想知道究竟是什么问题，那么它可能与 UI 交互有关。很多时候，任务栏上的图标也表现相同。您可以将鼠标悬停，但单击它时没有任何反应。音量图标问题似乎不会影响 PC 的实际音频。它工作正常，您可以使用键盘或 PC 上的硬件来控制音量，但软件不起作用。对于那些将笔记本电脑连接到大显示器的人来说，这非常不方便，而且设备大部分时间都不在他们身边。

我们的建议是：

1. 重新启动 Windows 资源管理器
2. 重启音频服务
3. 更新音频驱动程序
4. 运行音频疑难解答

让我们详细了解它们。

1]重新启动Windows资源管理器

这对许多消费者都有效。如果有任何东西卡在任务栏或系统托盘上，这是恢复它们的最佳方法。

1. 右键单击^{(Right-click)}任务栏，然后选择任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}。
2. 在Processes下，查找Windows Explorer
3. 右键单击并选择重新启动。
4. 等待^(Wait)一切完成并刷新用户界面。您应该看到任务栏^(Taskbar)消失，然后重新出现。这将重新加载整个 UI，并允许您访问音量图标。这一次它会起作用。

2]重新启动音频服务

1. 在运行提示中键入services.msc 。
2. 在 Services 列表中，找到 Windows Audio，右键单击它，然后转到Properties。
3. 确保^(Make)将启动类型^{(Startup Type)}更改为自动^(Automatic)。
4. 单击停止按钮^{(Stop button)}，一旦停止，请重新启动。 ^{(Start it again. )}
5. 重新启动计算机，并检查您是否能够访问任务栏上的音量图标。

3]更新音频驱动程序

在命令提示符下运行“ mmsys.cpl ”。右键单击系统托盘中的声音图标，然后选择“播放设备^(Devices)”。

完成后，在声音控制面板^{(Sound Control Panel)}中，验证哪个设备是您的系统默认设备并返回您的桌面。

接下来，在搜索框中键入“设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}”，然后单击设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}应用程序。展开“声音^(Sound)、视频和游戏控制器”选项卡。

现在，右键单击您的默认音频设备驱动程序，然后单击更新驱动程序软件^{(Update Driver Software)}。

4]运行音频疑难解答

打开 Windows 10Settings > Update和安全 >疑难解答^{(Troubleshoot)}。运行播放音频疑难解答^{(Playing Audio Troubleshooter)}。

您始终可以使用DISM 工具和系统文件检查器( SFC ) 临时修复这些类型的问题，但不能保证 100% 正常工作，您可能需要在重新启动 PC 后再次尝试。

最后，如果没有任何效果，最好将 Windows PC 恢复到最后的良好状态。^{(Lastly, if nothing works, it’s always a good idea to restore your Windows PC to last good condition.)}

Taskbar Volume Control not working in Windows 11/10

The Volume Control icon in the system tray is the quickest way to control the volume on your Windows 11/10 PC.  However if after a recent update or a software installation, it no longer responds to mouse clicks, whether it be a left-click or a right-click, you have a problem. Many have reported that the icon does highlight and show the volume level if you hover the cursor over it, but clicking on the icon has no effect. In Windows 10, it is also the quickest way to change the audio output, especially when you need to change from speakers to an earphone for your privacy.

If your Windows Taskbar Volume Control icon has stopped working, and when you click on the volume icon nothing happens and you are not able to change the volume then this post has some working fixes that will help you. While the audio works fine, you will not be able to control the volume of the PC from the volume control icon.

Windows Volume Control not working

If you are wondering what exactly is the problem, then it probably has something to do with UI interaction. Many times icons on the taskbar also behave the same. You can mouse hover, but nothing happens when you click on it.  The volume icon problem doesn’t seem to affect the actual audio from the PC. It works fine, and you can use hardware on the keyboard or the PC to control volume, but the software doesn’t work. This is very inconvenient for those who connect their laptop to a big display, and the device is not around them most of the time.

Our suggestions are:

1. Restart Windows Explorer
2. Restart Audio Services
3. Update Audio Driver
4. Run Audio Troubleshooter

Lets us see them in detail.

1] Restart Windows Explorer

This has worked for many consumers. If anything gets stuck on the taskbar or system tray, this is the best way to revive them.

1. Right-click on the taskbar, and select Task Manager.
2. Under Processes, look for Windows Explorer
3. Right-click and choose to restart.
4. Wait for everything to complete and the user interface to refresh. You should see Taskbar disappearing, and then reappearing. This will reload the whole UI, and give you access to the Volume icon. This time it will work.

2] Restart Audio Services

1. Type services.msc in the Run prompt.
2. In the Services list, find Windows Audio, right-click on it, and go to Properties.
3. Make sure to change the Startup Type to Automatic.
4. Click on the Stop button, and once it has stopped, Start it again. 
5. Restart your computer, and check if you will be able to access the volume icon on the taskbar.

3] Update Audio Driver

Run “mmsys.cpl” in a command prompt. Right-click on the sound icon in your system tray and select “Playback Devices”.

When done, in the Sound Control Panel, verify which device is your system default and return to your desktop.

Next, type “Device Manager” in your search box and click on the Device Manager app. Expand the “Sound, video, and game controllers” tab.

Now, right-click your default audio device driver, and click Update Driver Software.

4] Run Audio Troubleshooter

Open Windows 10 Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot. Run the Playing Audio Troubleshooter.

You can always temporarily fix these types of the problem using DISM tool, and the system file checker (SFC), but it’s not guaranteed to work 100%, and you may have to try it again after you reboot your PC.

Lastly, if nothing works, it’s always a good idea to restore your Windows PC to last good condition.
