The X mark on your volume icon might be present because no device has been selected for audio output. The primary device might have been deselected after a major audio driver update or due to a rare system glitch. Some applications could also cause such problem. If you recently connected a different audio device and selected it as the default audio output device, removing it might cause this problem. All you have to do is set your primary device as the default audio output device. You can use the sound flyout where you adjust your volume.
Just head to the far-right area of your taskbar and click on the volume icon. Once the flyout appears, click on the audio device and select another device. You have to go to the Services application and run them. There are different services responsible for managing audio output on Windows 10 PCs. They have to be running for the audio device to put out sounds from different system applications.
One of the major causes of the problem is the audio driver. The driver controls how the operating system communicates with the audio device. The first thing that the users try is they restart their system but this would offer no help. If you run Windows Audio Device Troubleshooter it will say that the audio device is disabled or: The audio device is turned off in Windows. The main cause of this error seems to be corrupt Microsoft permission or Windows audio device associate services have been disabled.
Make sure to create a restore point just in case something goes wrong. Right click on MMDevices and then select Permissions. Close Registry Editor and reboot your PC. Scroll down till you find Windows Audio Services and right-click then select Properties.
Make sure the service is running else click on Start and then set the Startup type to Automatic. Follow the same steps for Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service.
Expand Sound, video and game controllers and right-click on your Audio Device then select Enable If already enabled then skip this step. If your audio device is already enabled then right-click on your Audio Device then select Update Driver Software.

I can customize my system tray and change the icon settings to "Hide icon and notifications" but can i also remove it completely or even better make it not appear by default? I think most servers do not have sound capabilities so why the icon? Thanx for Helping me out.. Thursday, December 17, AM.
