Windows 10: change screen position of Realtek HD Audio Manager volume popup?

I'm running Wn10-64 version 1903 and have the Realtek HD Audio Manager running on a Gigabyte GA-Z270XP-SLI.

It works great - very nice design!

Except ... when I move the volume slider on my mouse (often by accident), a Realtek vertical volume slider popup appears in the upper left hand corner of my center monitor and stays there for 15 seconds.

It's right in the way and I cannot figure out how to re-position it. ESC doesn't close it. It's there for the full 15 seconds.

Is there a way to re-position? I'm fine with using the Registry Editor. I searched the registry, but can't seem to find the x,y co-ordinates it uses.

Realtek HD Audio Manager thinks that headphones are a microphone

The headphones have no microphone attached to it. There is only one cord/plug.

I have popup enabled for when Realtek Audio Manager finds a device.





The ports being greyed out mean that there is no device plugged in (that it can notice). If a port is black, like in the above screenshots, that means Realtek HD Audio Manager believes something's plugged in there. The problem is that the Audio Manager thinks
the headphones are plugged into the microphone port, but they are actually in the headphone port.

If I go over to the microphone tab like you suggest, nothing changes.

If you're able to control your Realtek audio card using the Realtek HD Audio Manager before the installation Creators update, then this may be a software compatibility concern. The best option we can suggest is to get in touch with your computer or device
manufacturer for further information regarding the installation and use of the Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Should you have other Windows concerns, feel free to post it here in the community.
