Volume bar minimizes programs running on fullscreen

hi, i found it annoying that if i were using a fullscreen aplication (eg. The Sims) if i wanted to conrtol the volume using the touch pad, the game would minimize just to show me the volume level bar. I dont mind that it pops up, id just wish it wouldnt minimize whatever i was doing, and have me then reload up the game after changing the volume, then find i may have put the volume too loud for the game.
this problem is annoying me, as id prefer to be able to control the game and change volume while playing the game so i can hear how loud i want the volume to be for the game.
is there a way to stop the volume bar from minimizing what ever application i may be using? Is there a way to make it show up on top of the game im playing? Or do i just have to stop it popping up in general?
any help appreciated
im using the dv6 pavillion 2113 model

Stop HP SmartMedia SmartMenu from running using msconfig, no function is lost. Or use alternate OSD software such as:

Volume Bar Interupts My Program

Hey Guys!
Really hope this ain't a repost. I have been searching all evening but can't find any solution for this problem,
Well the sound works like a charm and I havn't encountered any issues so far, althought there is one thing about the volume bar that I find quite annoying.
When I'm in fullscreen in games,films,programs and so on, whenever I attempt to use my quickbuttons for volume adjustments the computer tabs me out from the program and takes me to the desktop.
Is there anyway to deactivate the bar so i can get rid of the problem.
I really appreciate any help, Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You will need to uninstall the MediaSmart SmartMenu application and then restart the notebook. A good alternative for a volume bar that won't throw you back to the Desktop each time you use it, is on the link below.

Sound bar in programs not adjusting volume.

The issue:
Sound/volume bars in ANY program will not adjust "permanently" - but only momentarily before it jumps back to a louder setting (seems to be the max set for the system volume).
What I have attempted:
I recently purchased this unit (17-f020us) and updated, via HP's support website, all necessary drivers and programs - including the sp69164 for the audio driver (Realtek High Definition). I checked to see if there were any other updates to programs or drivers this morning (1-29-15) and none were listed. This unit does include Beats software.
I have also researched online for possible solutions - most being to just update the driver. Nothing is working to date (1-29-15).
I appreciate your assistance in correcting this very tiresome and annoying issue w/ the volume.
Thank you!

Hi @clrknt30
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your sound volume keeps automatically adjusting on you, normally upward. I am happy to help with this, and I did some digging looking for a possible cause.
A fix to try is, to go into the Control panel
then Hardware and Sound
then click on Sound and select the Communications tab
Select the option "Do nothing" then Apply
Let me know if this works for you.

Would like to remove ugly blue volume bar from display.

Hi,
I have an HP G72 Notebook, Product Number: WJ746AV, running Windows 7 (64-bit). Ever since i got the laptop I've had this volume display show when I adjust the volume through the keyboard:
All functionality remains, but it is very unaesthetic. It have seen the usual indicator that shows up on HP machines. It matches the WLAN indicator, with sleek black (the WLAN indicator DOES work for me). but, according to the posted list, my notebook is not supported by HP MediaSmart, and as a result will not give me a nice indicator. Thus, I have installed 3RVX.
I now have both volume bars appearing, which remains unsatisfying. I've tried tweaking with various settings, but nothing has been able to remove this blue nuisance.
Would anyone know how to remove it? Is it intimately connected to the keyboard hardware?
Although this is not a crucial issue, any help or insight into the problem would be greatly appreciated!
This question was solved.

I found a fix for this, and would like to share it with anyone who might come across this post with a similar problem.
I went to the System Configuration panel by entering 'msconfig' in the Search Programs and Files box at the Start Menu.
In the startup tab I disabled 'Realtek OSD for Volume/Mute'. After a restart, the ugly blue volume bar was gone, and I am now free to use 3RVX.

Message no. KS134
Diagnosis
To ensure the consistency of existing data, you can only change object Business Area if no transaction data exists in the change period; that is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
As transaction data already exists, it is not possible to change objects in this time period.
Procedure
If you still want to change the object, select a suitable change interval by choosing "Edit -> Analysis period...".
if i follow above menu bar edit-analysis period it is giving same error

Image zone/Volume bar

HP Desktop M7240UK
Windows 7
Hi
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP and I have lost the HP Image zone,how can I reinstall it?.
Also on my keyboard I have volume controls which when pressed would bring up a green volume bar on the monitor, this has also vanished and it was very handy.
Please can you help me retrieve these valuable items.
Regards

York, I don't believe that you will be able to reinstall HP Image Zone software. There is no way to install individual programs from the Recovery Discs. As for the volume bar, this is a special app. I have the same problem with my Logitech keyboard after installing Win7 Pro. So far I haven't found the solution for this either. I believe the Logitech software is not compatible with Win7.

Volume Bar Lag

Hi,
I've recently encountered a problem with the volume bar displayed on my screen.
There is a slight stutter/lag/delay between pressing the button on the keyboard and the volume bar changing its bars.
This small lag builds up as i repeatedly press the button and the volume bar on screen just freezes so I have to wait a bit for it to catch up.
The only temporary fix I seem to have is holding shift before pressing the volume buttons, but this silences the feedback sound.
Is there a permanent fix to this?

Is there any helpful link/tutorial on bare metal programming on MicroBlaze?

Hi,
I have a Spartan-6 EDK board. Because my target design will be a fast AGC adjustment (in 20 uS step making an adjustment), I think that it cannot use an OS (Is it right?).
For a bare metal programming on MicroBlaze, I do not see any description on this topic. Neither I find an answer in the web search.
Can you help me on my question?
Thanks,

hi

Music and videos start playing fine but randomly stop and the volume bar disappears

I have an iPhone 4S and run 6.1.3. I start to play music or videos (youtube, ESPN, Netflix, any) and they start to play fine but then randomly stop. The volume bar disappears as well. But then it reappears and I can play it again. When I do so it plays about 30 seconds, sometimes less, and pauses again. I have to repeat the process. Any idea how to fix or what might be causing the problem?

Try a reset:
- hold both the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as you see the apple logo appear release both buttons
Also make sure none of the LCI have been set off especially the one in the charging dock of the iPhone. Read the article below for help in checking this:

How to stop programs running in backroune, how to stop programs running in backround

My mac book pro is running slowly. I was told it was because of programs running in backround. How do I stop them.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.

Laptops do not display On Screen Display volume bar after Hotkeys Features Integration update

Hi,
I have also included most of the following information in response to a post, on the same subject, for T series machines.
I have 2 machines that are also affected by this problem, an R61 (8932-CTO XP-Pro-SP3 32-bit) and an R500 (2714-CTO XP-Pro-SP3 32-bit).
System update recently presented me with Hotkeys version 3.87.0000 on both of these machines, and I let System Update update the drivers in the vain hope that Lenovo had fixed this problem that has been previously reported as affecting many other series and models.
No such luck.
The only difference that I would like to report is that, for me, the last version of the Hotkey Features Integration package that displays the volume bar on my Windows XP machines is: 3.84.5000. I have all versions of the Hotkeys drivers saved on my machine and was therefore able to try them all out to verify which one was the last one that worked for me.
On both of the above mentioned systems, the version of Access Connections that is running is version 5.97.
On the R61, the version of Power Manager that is running is version 5.20.
On the R500, the version of Power Manager that is running is version 5.13. (System Update does not show version 5.20 as an available update on this machine.)
It would be really nice if Lenovo could finally fix this problem.
ThinkPad R61 8932-CTO T8300 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP
ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7

Intermittent inability to move the button on the volume bar

Intermittently, the button on the volume bar of any of the programs or apps on my iPod touch will act up. I can still move it, but it just goes back to the place where it was (sometimes this changes the volume and sometimes not). How do I fix this problem?
I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks,

Green Volume Bar

I recently reinstalled Windows 7 on my Lenovo W530. I installed the drivers throug Lenovo System Update.
When I now use my Volume control buttoms two volume bars show up.
Does anybody have an idea how to remove the green one?
Thank you very much !

I reverted the System to the state before I installed the drivers and programs through System Update.
The Volume Bar is gone now so I am pretty sure it was installed during this process.
I will try to install all drivers manually, maybe this will do the trick.
Thank you

Volume bar (hotkeys, KDE)

Hello,
Is it possible to configure Arch (KDE) to display a nice bar with volume when I press my volume up, down hotkeys (the hotkeys are configured with acerhk module and codes added with xmodmap, KDE now recognise them). I remember I had something like this under ubuntu, but I don't know if it was a part of kde or something 'ubuntu specific'.
mazu

this script inc./dec (alsa) volume via amixer and shows a volume-bar via xosd (osd_cat).
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
+)
amixer set PCM 2dB+
amixer set PCM 2dB-
exit
esac
VOLUME=`amixer get PCM | sed -ne '/Front Left/s/.*\[$.*$%\].*/\1/p'`
osd_cat --font -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* --colour=Green --shadow 1 \
--pos bottom --align center --offset 80 --delay=1 -b percentage -P $VOLUME -T Volume
I use xbindkeys to run the script if I press the vol. up or down keys on my keyboard.
This is the part for the volume keys of my .xbindkeysrc file (I saved the script as volume-xosd)
# PCM Volume up (Fn + up_arrow)
"/usr/local/bin/volume-xosd +"
c:176 + m:0x0
# PCM Volume down (Fn + down_arrow)
"/usr/local/bin/volume-xosd -"
c:174 + m:0x0
