Windows 7 Sound Volume indicator bar missing
I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad T530 laptop with Windows 7.
I used to have a bar that popped up in the lower center of my screen when I would hit my volume control buttons on my keyboard that would indicate the volume level. Similar to the volume display on a TV, it would display a number of bars and a number value indicating the volume level.
A few weeks ago, the look of the bar changed - it moved to just above the system tray, was smaller and just displayed bars, and not a volume number.
Now the bar is gone completely.
I have not made any changes or remember installing any programs that coincide with the timing of the disappearance of the volume bar.
Does anyone know what happened to it and how I get it back?
Thanks!
