I knew that it had something to do with the start menu properties, but just couldn't remember how to get to it.

You don't want inactive icons hidden. If it is checked, uncheck it with the space bar then tab to and activate the ok button. To check this setting, do the following: New main steps start on new lines. Press the Windows key, then press escape. You are now on the start button. Open the context menu. Up or down arrow until you get to properties and press enter. Shift tab once. Left arrow once to move to task bar properties. Tab a number of times and you will fand a check box that says hide inactive icons. As I said above, uncheck this checkbox if it is checked, then tab to and activate the ok button. If this is not the cause of the problem, let us know and we can look for a setting that causes the volume control to be shown in the system tray.
