Select the Place Volume icon in the taskbar check box.
To adjust volume, select the icon. To increase or decrease volume,
drag the slide bar up or down. To mute or restore volume, select
or clear the Mute check box.

If you cannot see an icon you have placed on the taskbar, it might
be hidden. Select the arrow or thick vertical bar on the taskbar
and expand to view icons.
Using the Internal Speakers
The internal speakers play stereo sound from applications, the
operating system, games, drive media, the Internet, and other
sources.
✎
If an external device, such as a headset, is connected to the
audio-out jack, sometimes called the line-out jack, the internal
speakers are disabled.
