Using the Soundcard Volume Control
Single-click the Speaker Icon in the Taskbar tray to bring up the Master Volume Control. Double-click that icon to bring up the full mixer controls. While you're in here, check out Options /Properties. You can setup the Volume Control for your PC speaker and even an attached microphone.
If you want to remove the Speaker Icon from the taskbar, go to Control Panel / Multimedia and you'll see the "Show volume control..." checkbox on the first page, as shown below. Keep in mind that the Speaker Icon will only appear if you are using a true 16-bit (stereo) sound card. Older 8-bit (mono) cards will not be able to use this feature.
