Windows 10: Cyclic Pop UP Banner Audio Control

Hello everyone,
this is my first post.
I am an Italian student. Now I have a tedious and stressful problem on win 10. On my screen in the upper left corner a popup banner appears and disappears continuously which resets the volume control and interrupts my listening sessions of the video conferences of my university. I don't know how to fix this. You can help me?

Disabling the volume control banner on PC

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to remove the volume control banner on your PC.



This issue started after the latest version of Chrome was released. However, we can disable the banner by changing some settings in Chrome browser. Kindly follow the steps below to fix the issue.

1. Open Google Chrome.
   
2. Now type in the following command on the address bar:
   
   chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling
   
3. Under Hardware Media Key Handling select the drop down to
   Disabled
   
4. Restart Chrome
   

Let us know how it goes.

Volume bar banner

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand how annoying it can be when you get the Volume bar banner, while playing music/video on Google Chrome.
To have a clarity on this issue, we need some information.

• Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?
  
• Do you receive the same popup when you play music/videos on Edge or Internet Explorer?
  
• Do you have any extensions enabled in Google Chrome for playing music?
  
• Which version of Google Chrome are you using?

However, we suggest you to try this steps and check if you are able to get rid of the banner.

1. Press Windows + I key from the keyboard to open
   Settings.
   
2. Then click on Systems. Then select
   Notifications & actions from the left pane.
   
3. Then under Get notifications from these senders, toggle the switch for
   Audio to disable the Banner and Sound notifications.
   
4. Close all the browser and reopen Google Chrome, to play some
   music/videos.
   
5. Check if you get the Volume bar banner back.

As an additional information, please refer the
Change notification settings in Windows 10 article.



We await your response.
