| 102822 | 2002-12-02 23:51:00 | I recently installed a new C-media driver from the windows update centre and it has put an unwanted 'mixer' icon on my task bar next to the clock. None of the usual methods of getting rid of it seem to work and there is no option to uncheck "...display on taskbar" How do I stop the icon from appearing? |

| 102823 | 2002-12-03 01:55:00 | You could disable it under msconfig?? But then, whether or not it is a necessary component to the driver working is another question... give it a go and see! Lo. |

| 102824 | 2002-12-03 02:47:00 | Mixer - Mixer.exe - (C-Media Inc) This replacement for the default Windows Volume Mixer gets installed when you install the drivers for C-Media onboard sound systems or sound cards. In our opinion the C-Media mixer is no better than the default Windows mixer and, if anything, it is irritating in the way it will by default mute the CD-in, Line-In, and other volume settings on some PCs, making the end-user lose valuable time working out why the sound is not working. Recommendation : Disable or Delete using Startup Manager. Go Start > Run > type in msconfig > press Enter > select the Startup Tab > locate the entry and remove the tick > Apply/Ok > reboot > upon restart you will be advised that you are using Selective Startup, tick the box and finish rebooting. Hope that helps you. |

| 102825 | 2002-12-03 02:53:00 | Depending on What OS, msconfig isnt available. I'd use Super Rabbit Magic Set from http://www.superrsoft.com if it doesnt work Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 102828 | 2002-12-21 17:58:00 | I accepted another C-media driver update from the windows update centre and it put the mixer icon back on the taskbar. The startup tab in MSCONFIG now has 2 disabled Mixer.exe programs. Duckyduck mentioned last time that the default windows mixer is perhaps a better option. How do I remove the C-media one and just have the windows default one? | pbaker (2674) | ||
