Windows 10: Media/Volume OSD change source

I use a streamdeck mini to control my music while I have my kvm switched to my work computer. This works great for play/paus next/previous and I even made some little ahk scripts to thumbs up and down for me in youtube music.

The only thing that doesn't work 100% is the windows osd seems to get confused sometimes on which source it should control. For example if I have a youtube video and music both up sometimes it will play pause on the wrong one. Is there a way to switch this input source? When the osd pops up there is an arrow on the right side allowing me to change source, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on controlling that through a command.

How to disable/configure volume OSD/overlay that pops up when volume is adjusted?

Try this app "3RVX", search it on the web, download and install to your windows 10, it's free.

Set hot keys, set your keyboard volume up key as "Increase volume" action; set your keyboard volume down key as "Decrease volume" action; set your keyboard mute key as "Mute" action, then, the "3RVX" will replace the volume OSD of windows 10.

You can change the skin, position, etc. of volume OSD, even hide it. Try it yourself.

Thanks to the author Matthew Malensek, this app solved my problem, too.

 

[Windows 10] Airplane mode OSD won't show up after reboot

I have a notebook has a Airplane mode hot key (Fn++F2). It works fine on Windows 8/8.1: when the key pressed, there is a Airplane mode on/off OSD show up at top-left corner and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth are turned
off accordingly.

On Windows 10, however, OSD won't show up until I press other keys like Volume Up, Down or Mute, after that, the Airplane mode OSD works just fine. (Airplane mode function always work, the problem is no
OSD)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Reboot system

2. Press Airplane mode hot key (problem: no OSD)

3. Press Volume up hot key (volume OSD show up at top-left corner)

4. Press Airplane mode hot key again (Airplane mode OSD shows up)

Follow above steps, you can 100% reproduce the problem.
