system tray sound gone

[vinifera]

*sigh*

discovered another annoying win7 bug

for some reason sound icon/controls decided to turn them self off and disappear from systray

but when I go to notification area and "re-enable" it I get this:

then when I click on "Turn system icons on/off" I get this nicely made option:

(which is disabled btw hahaha)

any chance to force enable this

or I need to reboot system when this happens ?

this talks of logging off and on again as alternative to rebooting.
