I have SP2 installed also, and my volume icon is safely [usually hidden] on
my taskbar. However, I do have a problem with something *changing the
settings* frequently, which I've learned to live with, since there is a
keyboard button to change it. :\

There are a lot of articles in the MS KB about this volume icon problem
though, so it's definitely not a rare problem. I'd try Google also.
