I your sound working apart from that?
do you get an error message if you run 'retrovol' in a terminal?

Although your puppy may have something else than retrovol...

I can report that I have sound set via Alsamixer to adjust various settings.
Ran retrovol by typing retrovol into terminal, no errors appeared so assume it's working O.K.
Still no icon displayed on reboot

I presume the icon is there before the reboot, is it?
I think retrovol is normally started by a symlink (to /usr/bin/retrovol) in /root/startup. But maybe it is started by a line in /root/.xinitrc or somewhere, or a jwm startup command. Any of those should work though.

In answer to your questions.
1) I can report that there was no icon either before reboot or after. I was hoping that the icon would reappear once I ran retrovol & rebooted.
2) The file retovol was present /usr/bin/ directory with only a relative link.
3) The file .xinitrc was not present in /root/ directory or anywhere else.
4) I ran jwm in terminal with following error reported
JWM : error: displayed already managed
I am very much a newbie so forgive me if I tend to ask stupid questions since I have limited Puppy skills.

Use the latest version of Lupu...
528.005 methinks.
In former times, when Lupu was my number-1 Puppy...
At a particular point in its development...
may have been 525...
There was a problem with the speaker icon disappearing after a couple of reboots.
The problem was eliminated by the developer, and the version updated.

Start retrovol and check in its settings whether the tray icon has been disabled.
