Soundmax Master Volume Panel KEEPS POPPING UP on the screen

I have had a Lenovo 3000 laptop for nearly four years.
Suddenly, for no reason I have this problem:
The  Soundmax  Audio HD  Master Volume Panel keeps popping up on the screen.   It's very intermittent and seemingly random:  sometimes it doesn't happen for 20 minutes;  then it pops up every few seconds.
Meanwhile it also often  ( but not always ) mutes itself so I have to unmute it to listen to anything.
Whether connected or not the microphone has also not worked for some months now though as I have another machine for Skypeing I don't bother too much about that lack of facility.
Again, I don't know it it is a related problem but sometimes in whatever window I am - maybe a webpage, maybe a wordprocessing page -  totally random letters keep popping up along the screen  eg:

then after a while it stops.     My AVG program claims there is no virus anywhere in the system.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Try removing your sleeve/casing.
