Windows 10: How to remove the big volume pop-up

There is a big pop-up box beside the volume bar when running a music player program for example foorbar2000. When playing music, it shows the name of the song and the artist. When not playing any music, it just shows the name of the program.





I’ve already searched the previous Q&As and tried the method of disabling Hardware Media Key Handling in edge://flags, which seems to be a solution to many people, but it didn't work for me. I disabled it and restarted Edge, but nothing changed. By the way I use Edge as the default explorer and didn't install Chrome on my computer.


It really is very annoying. Hope someone can tell me how to remove the big box but keep the system volume bar. Thank you so much if anyone can help.

Annoying big volume pop-up

Hello,

I have been searching for hours and I got so frustrated, this came up out of nowhere, yesterday was all good now when I change the volume this big annoying pop-up shows and it covers my screen and it is just useless. I don't mind the smaller pop-up that shows
the volume level but how can I disable the bigger pop-up right of the volume level?

Thanks.

 

Annoying big volume pop-up

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.
